Important Tips for Creating a Secure Hotmail Password<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>1. Choose a long password<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Creating \u2063a secure Hotmail password starts with one key element: a lengthy one. Try to use\u200d at\u200b least 10 or more \u2062characters in\u200b your password. Include a mix of \u200bupper- and lower-case letters, as well as numbers \u2064and special characters if possible. Doing so will make it much\u2064 harder for hackers to \u2064guess \u2062your\u200b password.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Don\u2019t\u2064 use personal information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re coming up with a password, make sure\u200d to stay away \u200cfrom personal information such as\u200b your name, address,\u2063 birthdate, or anything else that someone close to you might know. Avoid words from the\u2064 dictionary as passwords too, since they\u2019re \u2062relatively easy for hackers to guess. Capturing\u2063 these type of details is often how cybercriminals gain access \u200bto accounts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.\u200c Don\u2019t store passwords in an unencrypted file<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a bad idea to store passwords in an unencrypted, plain-text document. This makes them truly\u2062 vulnerable to anyone who might stumble \u200bacross them. Rather, use an encrypted file or password such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/logmeonce.com\/how-logmeonce-works\/\">secure cloud-based platform<\/a> like Hotmail itself, to keep your passwords safe.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"4-make-sure-your-password-change-is-complete-before-logging-in-again\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Make_Sure_Your_Password_Change_Is_%E2%80%8DComplete_%E2%80%8CBefore_Logging_In_Again\"><\/span>4.
