What is a strong password? » A strong password should appear as a group of random characters and should not be a word found in the dictionary of any language. » A password should be at least 12 characters long. » Passwords should use a combination of letters, both upper and lower case, numerals and symbols (e.g., ! @ # $ % ^ & *). It's much harder to guess a password made up of a greater variety of characters. » Create a password based on words or phrases that are easy for you to remember. Avoid creating passwords using: » Dictionary words in any language. » Words spelled backwards, common misspellings, and abbreviations. » Sequences or repeated characters (e.g., 1234567, abc123, qwerty.) » Personal information such as your name, loved-one’s name, birthday or similar information.
