For all of your online accounts,

• Use Strong Passwords. a strong password is long and difficult to guess
  • Use long passwords , at least 8 characters long
  • Use a combination of capital and common letters
  • Use numbers
  • Use special characters.
  • E.g “P@ssw0rD”
    
    
• Change your passwords frequently
  • Change your password at least once per year
  • Change your password if you suspect that someone has accessed your online account.
  • Change your password if someone’s behavior appears that they intend to access your online account.
    
    
• Do not use the same password for any two online accounts.
  
  Choose complex but memorable passwords. Although your passwords can be complex, ensure that the password is memorable to you. e.g ” F@c3b00k_Tr!p_T0_Th3_M00n “. This password example can be thought of as “Facebook trip to the moon” but you replaced
  
  letter a with @,
  letter o with 0 (zero) ,
  letter i with !
  letter e with 3
  spaces with _ (underscore) and
  the first letter of each word is capitalized, all others were either lower case or symbols.
  
  
  

Once you choose a memorable phrase and you settle on your symbol replacements, you’ll be good to go with creating a strong and manageable passwords!
