A Few Extra Tips and Tricks

Need some help coming up with a great password? Use a password manager! They’re like having a super-organized, incredibly secure brain for all your login details.

Make sure your new password is at least 8 characters long and includes a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. The more random, the better!

Avoid using easily guessable information like your birthday, pet's name, or the word "password". Seriously, those are like leaving the front door unlocked!
