What is the better way of handling your password?
Create A Strong, Long Passphrase
Strong passwords are considered over eight characters in length and comprised of both upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommends creating long passphrases that are easy to remember and difficult to crack.
What are 3 things you should avoid when creating passwords?
DON'T use blank spaces in your password. DON'T use a word contained in English or foreign language dictionaries, spelling lists or commonly digitized texts such as the Bible or an encyclopedia. DON'T use an alphabet sequence (lmnopqrst), a number sequence (12345678) or a keyboard sequence (qwertyuop).
