The password must:
- differ from the current and old password;
- consist of 8 or more characters;
- contain large and small letters, numbers, and special characters;
- consist of the Latin alphabet letters.
Do not create a password based on your account name or a real word.
Creating a strong password #
Do not use the examples below as your own password.
-
Try to use a random set of letters, numbers, and symbols when creating a password. The longer the password, the better. This way it will be harder to hack you.
-
Remove all vowels from the phrase to create a unique password. For example, “FLsSmllBrd” is “a fly is a small bird”.
-
Create an abbreviation from the first letters of your favorite song or phrase that you know very well. For example, “strdlmtrbsmdfw”–“Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away”.
-
Capitalize some letters, add numbers and symbols, including punctuation marks. For example, “!MhtMlnkPtchk_20” or “*TmkYnckvPcdCns99!”.
-
Change your password every few months. This way you will avoid a possible data leak.
-
Do not use the same password for multiple accounts. If hackers have compromised one website, they will try to use the received passwords to access other websites and apps.
