Make that more secure passwords

  • Do not use a password you have used in the past.

  • Try to change the password at least every 3-6 months.

  • Create a password that is at least six characters long.

  • Create a password with both digits and letters, uppercase, and lowercase.

  • Do not create a password with a family name, name of your pet, hobby, sports teams, favourite TV show, etc.

  • Do not create a password that is your phone number, house number, etc.

  • Create a password that is not in a dictionary.

  • Create passwords with spaces and/or magics (&*^%$#) in them (if allowed).

Have a password manager create a password for you.
