Creating a Secure Password - Hints and Tips

New Password Phrase Example

1. Choose a Base Phrase:

Start with a memorable phrase or a combination of words. For example, “BrightSky”.

2. Add Complexity:

Uppercase Letter: Ensure at least one letter is uppercase. In our example, “B” is already uppercase.
Lowercase Letter: Ensure at least one letter is lowercase. In our example, “BrightSky” contains lowercase letters.
Symbol: Add a symbol to the end of the phrase. For example, “BrightSky!”.
Number: Add a number to the end of the phrase. For example, “12BrightSkys^_^”.

3. Adjust Length:

Ensure the total length is a minimum of 12 characters. If the phrase is too long, consider abbreviating or removing some characters. If it’s too short, add more characters or symbols.
Example: “Br1ghtSky#!3” (12 characters, includes uppercase, lowercase, symbol, and number).

4. Requirements:

Double-check that the password phrase meets all the criteria:
- 12 characters: ✔️
