Password Tips

Keep these 5 things in mind

• According to the National Cyber ​​Crime Reporting Portal, while creating any password, it should be kept in mind that it should be very strong. To make the password strong or strong, it should have a combination of alpha-numeric and special characters. In this, upper and lower case letters as well as numbers and special characters should be used.
• The length of the password should be at least 8 digits. Passwords with less than 8 digits can be easily cracked. Since the advent of AI, more digits should be used to keep the password safe, so that even AI can find it difficult to find the correct combination of the password.
• Avoid using the same password for social media and bank accounts. For example, the passwords of social media and bank accounts should not be the same. If this happens, it will be easy for hackers to break into your account.
• Not only this, do not share your password, OTP or one time password, PIN (personal identification number) and CVV number of credit or debit card with anyone.
• The cyber crime reporting portal has also advised users to keep changing the passwords of all their bank and social media accounts regularly. By doing this, it will not be easy to find out your password.
