This document provides tips for creating strong passwords to protect personal accounts and information. It recommends passwords be at least 8 characters long with a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols from the entire keyboard. A secure method is to use the first letter of each word in a memorable sentence or phrase as a basis for the password then modify it with special characters and complexity. Regularly changing passwords and avoiding sharing personal information publicly helps enhance online safety and security.

5. 3.If the computer or online system does not support pass phrases, convert it to a password.Use the first letter of each word in the phrase that has been created to define a new, nonsensical word.Taking the above example sentence, we have: "mhatta."4.Add complexity by mixing uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers.Also useful letter swapping or misspellings as well.For example, in the previous sentence, consider misspelling Aiden's name, or substituting the word "three" with the number (3).There are many possible substitutions, the longer the sentence, the more complex the password.The phrase might eventually become "My Son is 3 yeeRs Ang3l."If the computer or online system does not support pass phrases, use the same technique on the shorter password.The result could be a password like "MsAy3yo."
6. 5.Finally, substitute some special characters.You can use symbols that look like letters, combine words (remove spaces) and use other means to make the password more complex.Using these tricks, we create a pass phrase as "MiHiJo @ ng3l ti3n3 3 anionic $" or a shorter password (using the first letters of each word) "@ T3a Mihi."6.Try the password with Password Checker.Password Checker is a feature of this Web site that helps you determine the level of security offered by a password as you type (such figures are not recorded).
