📝 Prerequisites
- Access to one or more online accounts (email, professional platforms, cloud services, etc.).
- A modern web browser.
- Willingness to improve your security habits.
📍 Steps
1. Use long and complex passwords
Choose passwords with at least 18 characters, mixing uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters.
2. Avoid obvious personal information
Never use your name, date of birth, or any easily accessible personal details.
3. Avoid common words and obvious sequences
Do not use dictionary words or simple sequences such as 123456 or password.
4. Use passphrases
Combine several words into a memorable but hard-to-guess phrase, for example: BlueBalloon#2024!.
5. Use a unique password for each account
Each service should have its own password to limit damage in case of a breach.
6. Update your passwords regularly
Change your passwords periodically, especially for sensitive accounts.
7. Use a password manager
Password managers help generate and securely store complex passwords.
✅ Expected Result
Your accounts are protected by strong, unique, and hard-to-crack passwords.
💡 Good to Know
- Password managers greatly reduce risks related to reuse.
