Strong passwords are an important basis for protecting your data. Unfortunately, many users still use the same passwords for all profiles or use simple combinations such as Welcome123 or their name.

Here are the most important 6 points briefly listed:

The biggest obstacle on the way to a secure password is lack of creativity. For this reason, you should think carefully about how to make your password unique.

5. change your passwords regularly

Even though it may sound complicated at first, you should change your passwords as often as possible. In this way you can ensure that your data remains secret and cannot be traced, even if specific measures are taken to collect it.
When you re-enter your password, make sure that it cannot be guessed either.
