Question

⦁ when creating a strong password, what are some valid criteria the password should meet?

Answer 1

Your password should never contain personal information that somebody can guess. The most secure passwords contain; uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols in some sort of variation.
A lot of times using numbers in place of letters like using a 5 in place an S, a 3 in place of an E, a 0 in place of an O, or a 1 in place of an L or I, will increase the strength of a password.
A good example could be using "Cha1rL3g$"

Hope this helped or was helpful information!

Answer 2

Personally, I would suggest the ways that I usually used when create a password.

1. Using complicated passwords rather than simple ones.

2. Don't include personal things into a password, such as birthdate, pet's name, phone number and etc.

3. Try bets to generate unique password for each account. Reusing a password makes our personal data weak to be hacked.

4. Try long password, better with 8–12 characters, numbers, punctuations. https://www.cyclonis.com/what-is-password-policy-how-to-create-good-one/

There are many password managers can do this for us automatically. The ones I have tried are LastPass, Cyclonis Password Manager, and 1Password.
