A Strong

be any
dictionary
words.
Should have
with minimum
8 characters
length

Upper and
lower case
characters

a-z, A-Z)
Should not
be based on
the personal
information
such as,
name of the
family
members,
pet’s name
etc.
Should be
easy to
remember.
For Example,
use the
second
letter of
each word in
a phrase:
”An apple a
day keeps
the doctor
away” might
give you the
password as
“NpaehoW@1”.
Special

should also
be added in
this
password.
Do’s
Use a
password
with
mixed-case
letters (eg,
AaBb) and
use
upper-case
letters in
the middle
and/or end,
not just the
beginning.
Use a
password
with some
non-alphabetic
characters (eg,
digits or
punctuation).
Use a
password
that is easy
to remember,
so you don’t
have to
write it
down.
Use a
password
that you can
type
quickly,
without
having to
look at the
keyboard.
This makes
it harder
for someone
to steal
your
password by
watching
over your
shoulder.
