Using Secure Passwords

Using Secure Passwords

  • Create strong passwords:
    • Use at least 12 characters, including upper and lower-case letters, numbers, and special symbols.
    • Avoid using easily guessable information (e.g., birthdays, common words).
  • Use a password manager like Bitwarden to store and manage your passwords.
  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible to add an extra layer of security.
