Password Composition Tips
- Length is Key: Aim for 14 or more characters. Longer is generally stronger.
- Use Passphrases: Create a phrase of 4–7 unrelated words (e.g., "HorsePurpleHatRunBay").
- Include Character Mix: Use a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Avoid Personal Info: Do not use names, birthdays, nicknames, or address information.
- Avoid Common Patterns: Steer clear of "1234," "qwerty," or simple substitutions like "P@ssword".
Security Best Practices
- Unique for Every Account: Use a different password for every website to prevent a single breach from compromising all your accounts.
- Use a Password Manager: Utilize tools like Microsoft Edge or dedicated apps to generate and securely store complex, unique passwords.
- Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Add a second layer of security (like a code sent to your phone) to your accounts.
- Update Compromised Passwords: Immediately change passwords if you are notified of a data breach.
