Please refrain from using your name or any part of the date of birth or any common word in the password. The password should be such that it is not easy to guess. The password must be at least 8 characters. The bigger the better, in that case, it would be difficult for hackers or anyone to guess. Another powerful feature of strong passwords is the combination of lowercase letters, upper case letters, special symbols, and numbers. **Do not use Facebook passwords anywhere** Use different passwords for all the websites you use. Again, the same password should not be used only by a small change (eg, keeping the letters in the same way, just changing the number and using it for other sites); Rather they must be completely different. **Use the password manager if necessary** It is naturally difficult to remember when using a different password for each website. Use 'Lastpass', 'Dashlane' password manager if necessary.
