Making Your Password Harder to Crack<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Minimizing the Risk<\/b><br \/>\nHaving a secure password is essential for keeping your accounts safe from cyber criminals. To minimize potential risk, you should incorporate a combination of numbers, symbols, and uppercase and lowercase letters. This creates a stronger attack surface which is less likely to be compromised.<\/p>\n<p><b>Using Passphrases<\/b><br \/>\nUsing a passphrase instead of a random string of characters can make your password even more secure. Passphrases are four or more words that are easy to remember, such an expression, phrase, or phrase from a book. They use combinations of two or more words and special characters to create a secure password. Here are some tips when creating a passphrase:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Include easy to remember words<br \/>\n\u2013 Include numbers<br \/>\n\u2013 Capitalize words<br \/>\n\u2013 Use spaces between words<br \/>\n\u2013 Use symbols in place of letters<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3-tips-and-tricks-for-securing-your-password\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Tips_and_Tricks_for_Securing_Your_Password\"><\/span>3.
