【1】

Hard passwords include upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters. They should be at least eight characters in length. They should alsonotspell out words easy for hackers to find, like your pet's name or the name of a family member.

Change your password regularly

A very common mistake made by users is to create one hard password, but then never change it. Remembering a long list of complicated passwords can be difficult. But no password is unbreakable.
