Your password is a huge part in securing your data. It is suggested to have a password that is 12-15 characters long or longer. Include letters, numbers, and symbols. Change your password every so often. Do not create one password for ever single account you log in to. Create phrases that you will remember versus creating something you may forget. Always use a different email address or your cell phone to forward your forgot password email or notification to incase something happens. To ensure ultimate security use Two-Factor Authentication. This will ensure that YOU are the person logging into your account and not someone else.
Passwords provide for the first line of defense against unauthorized access to your computer and personal information. The stronger your password, the more protected your computer will be from hackers and malicious software. You should maintain strong passwords for all accounts on your computer.
