    Your password must contain at least 8 characters and consist of an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, a number, and a special character.

    Use a completely new password, do NOT use a modified version of an old password

    Remember to create a strong password!

    A strong password is essential for maintaining the security of your accounts. Here are some characteristics of a strong password:

    1. Irregularity: Avoid using predictable patterns or simple sequences. For example, don’t just add a “1” or a “!” at the end of your existing password. Attackers can easily guess such modifications.

    2. Complexity: A strong password should be long and include a variety of characters beyond just letters of the alphabet. Consider using numbers, symbols, and a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters.

    3. Unpredictability: Avoid using common words, phrases, or easily guessable information (such as your birthdate or street address). Instead, create something unique that doesn’t resemble regular word patterns.

    Remember, a strong password is less likely to be compromised through brute-force attacks
