Setting a strong password is as important as changing a password for the account that appears to have been compromised. In general, a strong password can be defined as a password that is difficult for others to crack, so passwords like password1 or qwerty are not close to strong passwords. If these are bad examples of passwords, what passwords are considered safe? Well, first of all, a good password uses different types of characters, including letters (both lowercase and uppercase), numbers, and symbols. Second, a strong password must be of sufficient length. There are different opinions on the length and complexity of the password, but many specialists agree that it must be at least 14 characters. Of course, the best practice is to upload characters so that cybercriminals cannot easily crack the password. Finally, but most importantly, passwords cannot be reused in accounts.
