Use Strong, Unique Passwords

Using strong, unique passwords for each of your accounts is one of the most critical steps in securing your devices. Passwords should be at least 12 characters long and include a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

  • Password Managers: Remembering strong passwords for all your accounts can be challenging. A password manager like LastPass, 1Password, or Dashlane can securely store and generate complex passwords. These tools will auto-fill passwords for you, making it easier to maintain security across all your devices without relying on weak, repetitive passwords.

  • Avoid Common Passwords: Never use easily guessed passwords like "123456," "password," or anything related to your name, birthday, or phone number. Hackers often use automated programs to crack weak passwords within seconds.
