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:

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.
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.
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
