Step Up Your Password Game

Using strong passwords should be your number one priority, especially on websites where you have too much personal information. Believe it or not, there are tons of people who still use “password” as their password. There’s a lot to talk about when it comes to creating your password, but all strong passwords should include the following:

1. At least 8 characters, but the more the better. Try to aim between 10 to 12 characters.
2. A combination of both uppercase and lowercase letters.
3. A combination of letters and numbers.
4. Your password should also include at least one special character like “^! * @.”
5. Make the process easy by using a password manager, like Sticky Password, which will work across virtually all of your Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices.

Also avoid using common dates and years, especially the ones that mean something to you. Try to avoid using the same password on several different websites and avoid saving your credentials on any site or browser.

Sure it’s easier and more convenient, but it can also be risky, especially if the site isn’t that protected or trusted, which brings us to our next point.
