WHAT DEFINES A STRONG PASSWORD

In our previous lessons, we stressed the importance of safeguarding our passwords, considering them confidential and deserving of protection. Today’s lesson focuses on how to create a strong password.

This is an opportunity to learn and reconsider your current practices.

Watch this video to learn how to set up a strong password.

Please leave a comment on what you think makes a good password. We’d be more than happy to learn from you.

Passwords are confidential and should always be kept secret. No one should see or have access to your password. Sharing passwords is a bad practice and compromises your security. Entrusting your password to others makes your devices and information vulnerable, as they could log into your accounts without your consent.

Learn from Esther’s experience and stay informed.
