remember so that the person who is looking for it won’t find it.

Use at least 8 characters (letters),the more characters the less the hacker will know.

Choose a password that you can type quickly, so if the hacker is looking over your shoulder they won’t know.

Use a random mixture of letters, numbers, symbols, etc.
