A lot of websites, apps or anything that requires passwords this days surely do require your passwprd to be atleast 8 and above. The  second part is a very popular suggestion that I have noticed but sometimes people do ignore it and continue with making their passwords vulnerable, adding signs and symbols in your passwords helps in making your passwords more difficult to crack by hackers.

Note: If you have too many passwords, use a password manager. This will help to store and conceal your passwords.
Although I don't support the idea of saving your passwords in a password manager, I prefer we keep them in an offline books or papers where its more safer.

There has been lots of news where password manager companies partner with cyber criminals or are the cyber criminals themselves using people's passwords entrusted to their services to defraud them. So I strongly discourage saving passwords online because it pose same security issues as not having one at all.

I'm doing a course on cybersecurity, and there is a particular topic that caught my attention which I would like to share with you all. I know many of us make mistakes when setting up passwords for our different online platforms. Did you know that you are the first line of defense against cyber criminals or cyber attacks? How you set up your password will determine if your data is safe from hackers or scammers. There are techniques you can use to make sure your personal information is kept secure.

I want to emphasize on password creation. How you create your password matters a lot:

1: When setting up your password, do not use your name or common dictionary words.

2: Use special characters like @$&#%# etc

3:Use passwords with more than 10 characters.

4: Make sure all your online accounts have unique passwords. If you use the same password for different accounts, it will make your data vulnerable to scammers.

Note: If you have too many passwords, use a password manager. This will help to store and conceal your passwords.
