How to Make a Strong Password?

Strong passwords are important protections to secure your desktop, laptop or different online accounts. So, make your password strong. 

Keys to password strength: length, complexity and uniqueness. 

• An ideal password is long enough with combination of letters, punctuation, symbols and numbers.
• Use at least 10 or more characters whenever possible. 
• Although it is difficult to manage separate password for each account you have to do so. Cyber criminals steal passwords on websites with very little security, and then they try to use that same password and user name in more secure environments, such as banking websites.
• Change your passwords often so that it can be difficult for hackers to hack. 
• The greater the variety of characters in your password, the better the security. However, password hacking software automatically checks for common letter-to-symbol conversions, such as changing "and" to "&" or "to" to "2."
• Use the entire keyboard, not just the letters and characters you use or see most often.
