Use Strong, Unique Passwords 

Advice:
  • Create strong, unique passwords for all your accounts using passphrases:
    • Uppercase letters (A-Z)
    • Lowercase letters (a-z)
    • Numbers (0-9)
    • Special characters (e.g., !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, *)
  • Avoid easily guessable information such as birthdays, names, or common words. Strong passwords should be random and not related to personal details.
Guideline:
  • Utilize a password manager (e.g., LastPass, 1Password, Bitwarden) to generate and store complex passwords securely. These tools can create passwords that are long and random to enhance security.
  • Ensure that you have unique passwords for each account to minimize the risk of multiple accounts being compromised if one is breached.
  • Regularly update passwords every 3–6 months to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, and promptly change passwords when a security breach is suspected.
