Tips for a safe password
Use uncommon words, non-standard uppercasing, creative spelling, exclude your name and company's name. Also avoid using information that others might know about you or could easily find out.
Examples:
- Your pet's name
- Your nickname
- Your street name
- Don't use common words
Avoid simple words, phrases, and patterns that are easy to guess. Examples:
- Obvious words and phrases like "password" or "letmein"
- Sequences like "abcd" or "1234"
- Keyboard patterns like "qwerty" or "qazwsx"
- Any examples in this article, like "sPo0kyH@ll0w3En" or "uP@8cCe!"
Avoid obvious substitutions like o -> 0, e -> 3 and if adding uppercase letters, put them in the middle of a word rather than the start.
