Creating a Strong and Memorable Password
A secure password is essential for protecting your online accounts, but it doesn’t have to be difficult to remember. Start by using a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid common words, personal information, or predictable patterns.
A great technique is to use a passphrase. For example, think of a sentence you can remember, like “I love hiking every weekend in 2024!” Then, convert it into a password using abbreviations or substitutions, such as “ILh!ngEvryWknd@24”. This approach creates a strong, unique password that’s still easy to recall.
Once you have determined your password, test it with:

Lastly, avoid reusing passwords across different accounts, and consider using a password manager to keep everything organized and secure.
