Use as many different types of characters as possible, including: lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Never reuse a previous password and never use the same password for more than one account. Don’t use password‐storage tools, whether software or hardware. Make sure that your password does not include anything identifiable such as: names, usernames, pet names, or words in a dictionary. Lastly, make sure that the password is not too hard for you to remember so you don’t forget the password or have to write it down or save it.
