You'll need to create a password to do just about everything on the Web, such as checking your email, banking online, logging in WeChat and so on. And while it's simpler to use a short, easy-to-remember password, thiscan also cause serious risks to your online safety
To protect yourself and your information, you'll want to use passwords that are long, strong, and difficult for someone else to guess while still keeping them easy for you to remember.
A strong password is one that's easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess. Let's take a look at some of the most important things to think when setting a password. First, never use personal information such as your name, birthday, user name, or email address. This type of information
is often publicly available ( 可获得的), which makes it easier for someone to guess your password.
Second, use a longer password. Your passwords should be at least six characters long or even longer. Then, don't use the same password for each account (账户). If someone discovers your password for one account, all of your other accounts will be in danger.
You can try to use numbers, symbols, and both capital and small letters. You have to avoid using words that can be found in the dictionary. Like "swimming", it would be a weak password. So random(随机的) passwords are the strongest.
Instead of writing your passwords on paper like books or notebooks where someone might find them, you can use a password manager (a kind of App) to store them safely online. Password managers can remember and enter your password on different websites. That means you won't have to remember longer passwords. So it is a good and safe way to keep your passwords.
