A guide to creating a strong password
Your password must:
- Differ from your old/current password
- Consist of 10 or more characters
- Contain letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, special characters (!@#$%^&*()/\”;.,- +~)
Your password must not:
- Based on your name or account name
- Be a literary word that is included in dictionaries
- Used for multiple accounts on different sites (when one site is hacked, hackers try to use the obtained passwords to access other resources)
Useful tips for using passwords:
- Do not use the "save password" function in browsers
- Change your password every few months
- Do not write down the password on paper (such as a sticky note) or in a file
- Capitalize some letters (randomly), add numbers and symbols (including
punctuation marks)
- When creating a password, try removing all vowels from the phrase
- Create a password from the first letters of your favorite song or phrase
