Three Easy Ways To Strengthen Your Passwords:

1. Keep a long password, which is at least 16 characters long, and always remember the longer, the better!

2. Dates of birth, names are easy to guess. Therefore, try to keep random passwords. There are two ways to do this, number 1 is to use a nonsensical, random mix of words, numbers and symbols. For example, cXmnZK65rf*&DaaD or Yuc8$RikA34%ZoPPao98t. But these passwords are the toughest to memorise unless you are noting them and keeping them safe.

You can also make up a memorable phrase made from a bunch of unrelated words. This is known as a Passphrase.

For example:

Good: HorsePurpleHatRun
Great: HorsePurpleHatRunBay
Amazing: Horse Purple Hat Run Bay Lifting

3. Keep the hacker guessing with your unique passwords and try to use a different password for each account. 

For example: 

Bank: k8dfh8c@Pfv0gB2
Email account: kokobringwaterforidiot
Social media account: e246gs%mFs#3tv6

This is a perfect list to find out if you're using a vulnerable password and how to stay safe in a world where digital scams are so often.
