Use Two-Factor Authentication
While it’s not directly tied to creating a stronger password, two-factor authentication (2FA), is a great way to keep your accounts safe even with a weaker password. With this feature, even if another person has your password and email address, they won’t be able to log in to your account unless they also have your phone or another hardware device.
2FA most commonly works by sending you a notification that someone’s trying to get into your account. If it’s you, you’ll get a code or a link sent via email or SMS that you’ll need to use to log in to your account. This is another reason why it’s important to have multiple passwords and protect your email account. If someone with access to your social media accounts also has access to your email, they might be able to bypass 2FA without you even knowing about it.
You can also opt for more secure forms of 2FA that use apps on your iPhone to generate one-time passwords or even require physical security keys.
