A strong password that contains length and complexity is your best defense against hackers. The longer the password – the tougher to crack. Complexity builds on strength and structure, not simply limited to special characters. Hackers expect the first character to be a capital letter too.
Bad Examples: BathStateBank2021!; SPRING 2021!; NAMEOFMYdog!
Good Examples: 20m!innesotaV!k!ings21; iLUV2eatconEdogs!
Remember, please don’t play the social media game of “What’s your dog’s name” or “What’s your favorite food.” Hackers look for clues to crack passwords. Stay safe out there!
