hackers use to get your password is through brute-force password attack, where they try to guess your password using all possible combinations of letters, numbers and symbols. Passwords that are less than four characters take seconds to crack. Thus, it is recommended to make your password as long as possible, with at least 8 characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#2 Include numbers, symbols, uppercase and lowercase letters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from adding length, you should also add complexity to your password by using a random mix of upper and lowercase alphanumerical characters and symbols to resist password guessing attacks. If you are using a phrase or a sentence to create your password, consider modifying it slightly by substituting the letter A with @, the letter E with 3, the letter O with 0, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#3 Avoid including your birth date or personal information<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Never include information that can be easily guessed or are publicly available (e.g. through social media) in your password, such as your name, user name, nickname, birthday, email address, phone number or city of birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>#4 Never use sequential numbers or letters, or common words<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay away from common words like \u201cpassword\u201d, \u201cmypassword\u201d, \u201cpassword123\u201d, \u201cabc123\u201d. In addition, never use sequential numbers or memorable keyboard paths, such as \u201c123456\u201d or \u201cqwerty\u201d. Merging your name with \u201c123\u201d (e.g. \u201cdavid123\u201d) \u2013 though easy to remember \u2013 is a big no-no as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>#5 Do not reuse passwords \u2013 unique is key<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Never use the same password across different accounts. Here\u2019s why \u2013 if the hackers discover the password for one of your accounts, they can break into the rest of your accounts. Using a unique password for each account helps prevent such issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember: Your password is your first line of defense against unauthorized access to your account.
