Strong passwords or passphrases are critical to ensure the safety of all online account log-ins. In the spirit of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, here are some tips to ensure your passwords pass the test:
They should be at least 8 characters long
Composed of three of these character classes:
Lower-case letters: (abcde . . . . )
Upper-case letters (ABCDE . . . .)
Numbers (123456 . . . )
Non-alphanumerics (?><{:")*&^ . . . .)
Passwords should be unique for every log-in.
