Never reuse your passwords.

Using different passwords for every account is a simple but powerful way to keep your info safe from hackers. Sticking to these best practices helps lock down your accounts and makes it way harder for anyone to break in!

• Never reuse passwords – If one account gets hacked, reusing a password can put multiple accounts at risk.
• Use a password manager – These tools generate and store strong, unique passwords for each account, so you don’t have to remember them all.
• Create complex passwords – Mix uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols to make them harder to crack.
• Make passwords long – Aim for at least 12–16 characters to strengthen security.
• Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) – Adds an extra layer of protection, requiring a second verification step beyond just the password.
• Avoid personal details – Don’t use easily guessed information like birthdays, names, or common words.
• Change passwords if compromised – If a website you use gets breached, update your password immediately to secure your account.
• Be wary of phishing attacks – Cybercriminals may try to trick you into giving away your login details—don’t click suspicious links or enter passwords on untrusted sites.
• Regularly update passwords – While not needed for all accounts, change passwords for sensitive accounts like banking and email every few months.
