In today's world, cyber criminals use different techniques and strategies to guess passwords and creating a strong password is like a tough puzzle for them to solve. A strong password should be a mix of capital and small letters, numbers and even symbols. Avoid using your name or something like "12345" as your password, that's too simple. Instead, think of something only you would know, like a favourite phrase or a mix of words and numbers and even symbols, that mean something to you. Now some tips and tricks is that, you can use the "@" symbol and "$" symbol in your passwords to represent some letters like "a" and "s" respectively, that's cool, right?
EXTRA SECURITY WITH MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION
Using multi-factor authentication (MFA) also makes your account even more safer. It's like having an extra lock on your door. After entering your password, you might need to do sommething else, like typing in a code sent to your number or mail. That way, even if someone gets your password, they still can't get in without your secret code.

Just as you replace your battery when it runs out of power, it's a good idea to change your passwords once a while or even frequently. This helps prevent the bad guys from guessing your password and due to this your accounts become safe. This can be done every month.
In conclusion, keeping your accounts safe is super important in today's digital world. By making strong passwords and using the above tips, like changing your passwords frequently etc, you can protect yourself against cyber criminals.
