Strong Password (How to create and use them)

The key to a strong password is it’s length and complexity. This would involve letters, punctuations, symbols, and numbers as well. Using 14 characters or more, varying the characters, as well as using the entire keyboard rather than the letters you usually see all helps in creating a strong password.
          Adding special characters such as !,@,#,$,%,^,&, and * allows for a strong password that is hard to crack. To add on to this, making certain letters in your password capital and lowercase also helps with its complexity. Passwords containing common knowledge such as birth dates or your name in any way or form is not recommended in creating a strong password. Even with all this though, a password should always be unique only to you and that is what makes it a strong password.
