Password Best Practices

  1. Be Unique: Avoid using easily guessable information like your name or birthdate. Instead, create a password that stands out and is unique to you or better yet randomly generated.
    ​

  2. Mix It Up: Opt for a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. This mix will make your password more robust and harder to guess.
    ​

  3. Stay Updated: It's good practice to regularly update your password. By doing so, you stay one step ahead of potential security risks and ensure the ongoing protection of your account.
    ​

  4. Secure Storage: Avoid writing passwords on sticky notes or saving them in easily accessible digital documents. Instead, consider using a trusted password manager application. These tools encrypt and store your passwords in a secure vault, allowing you to access them whenever needed while maintaining their confidentiality.
