Strong Password (how to create and use them)

Your passwords are the keys you use to access personal information that you've stored on your computer and in your online accounts.

What makes a strong password?

• Make it lengthy.
• Create a phrase made of many words (a "pass phrase") by using the space bar.
• Combine letters, numbers, and symbols.
• Use words and phrases that are easy for you to remember, but difficult for others to guess.

Password Strategies to Avoid

• Avoid sequences or repeated characters. EX. "123456" or "222222"
• Avoid using only look-alike substitutions of numbers or symbols. EX. "M1cr0$0ft" or "P@ssw0rd".
• Avoid any part of your name, birthday, car number plate, or similar information.
• Avoid dictionary words in any language.
• Use more than one password everywhere.
•  Avoid using online storage.
