Today’s Cybersecurity Lesson: Strengthen your Passwords.
It seems like EVERYTHING needs a password. Not just your bank, but EVERY app you use to buy your groceries, gas up your car, listen to music... Some of these seem more important—more private—than others. But the truth is, once you start getting careless with some of your passwords, you’ve opened yourself up to cyber attacks. Be vigilant. Here are 5 simple ways to strengthen all your passwords—from the mundane to the deeply important.
LENGTH The longer the password, the harder it is to crack.
COMPLEXITY Don’t use a simple word or phrase
UNIQUENESS Every account deserves its own password.
IT’S NOT PERSONAL, IT’S BUSINESS Avoid personal information.
GET HELP a Password Manager will do a better job than you
BONUS ADVICE - change all your passwords regularly

This is just the START of protecting your digital information. There are many other steps you should consider, such as two-factor authentication or even passkeys that recognize your fingerprint or a scan of your face.
