Strong passwords are one of the most important defenses against unauthorized access.

Create Strong Passwords

• Use at least 12 characters.
• Include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
• Avoid using names, birthdays, or common words.

Use Unique Passwords

• Never reuse the same password across multiple accounts.
• Each account should have its own unique password.

Use a Password Manager

• Password managers help generate and securely store strong passwords.
• Avoid storing passwords in documents or spreadsheets.

Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

• MFA adds an additional layer of protection.
• Even if a password is compromised, MFA helps prevent unauthorized access.

Change Compromised Passwords Immediately

• If you suspect a password has been exposed, change it immediately.
• Report security concerns to your IT provider.
