Cybersecurity – Attacks Strong Password • Strong Password • Use a mix of characters: • A secure password must include a mix of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. This makes it more difficult for hackers to guess passwords through brute-force attacks. • Avoid easily guessable information: • Many people still use easily guessable passwords. Avoid using information such as your name, birthdate, or common words. This information can be easily obtained through social media or other online sources. • Length matters: • The longer the password, the stronger it is. It is recommended to use a password length of at least 8 characters , but ideally, passwords should be 12 or more characters long. This recommendation is based on research that shows longer passwords are more difficult to crack. Aim for a password length of at least 12 characters . This makes it more difficult for hackers to guess the password through brute-force attacks.
