Strong Password: If you want to keep your account safe forever, then adopt these easy methods today, it will never be hacked...

In the digital world, everything is password-protected. Your phone, email, bank apps, social media account logins, everything. Therefore, it's crucial to create a strong password and change it frequently. This is the key to digital security.

The longer the password, the more secure it is.

When creating a password for any account, make sure it's 12 to 15 characters long. Long passwords take a hacker longer to crack.

How to create a strong password

To make a password strong, it should include a mix of A–Z (capital letters), a–z (small letters), and 0–9 (numbers). Also, use hashtags (#), at signs (@), dollar signs ($), percent signs (%), and exclamation marks (!). The more complex the pattern, the more secure it will be.

A different password for each account

Don't use the same password multiple times. If one account is hacked, all the others will be at risk. Therefore, keep a unique password for each app, account, or site.

Avoid adding personal information.

Never include personal information in your password, such as your or someone close to you's date of birth or home address. Also, avoid easy patterns like 1234, 0000, or qwerty. These passwords are often hacked by guessing them first.

Use a passphrase

Even the most difficult passwords have simple tricks to remember. You can use them to protect your password. For example, a line from a song, a famous dialogue from a movie, or a famous dialogue of your own. These can create a unique password, such as "MeriFavMovie@2024!". Such passwords are easy to remember and strong.

Don't forget to turn on MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication)

Don't rely solely on passwords. Turn on MFA as well. This requires a password, mobile OTP, or app code to open your account. This increases security exponentially. Do not share your password through any means, such as messages or emails. If you must write it down, keep it in a private or locked location.

Use Smart Letter Substitution

To make your password complex, always use smart letters instead of straight letters. For example:

a → @
o → 0
s → $
i → !
This reduces the risk of hacking to almost zero.

Use a Password Manager

If you have trouble remembering multiple passwords, you can use a password manager. These automatically generate strong passwords and store them in an encrypted vault. You only need to remember one master password.

Change Passwords Regularly

Don't keep one password for years. Update it every two to three months.
