Password Security Tips
- Never reuse passwords: Each account should have a unique password. If one gets breached, others stay safe.
- Use a password manager: Tools like Bitwarden (free), 1Password, or LastPass can remember your passwords securely.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): Even if your password is compromised, 2FA adds an extra layer of security.
- Avoid personal information: Never use your name, birthday, phone number, or common words as passwords.
- Check for breaches: Use haveibeenpwned.com to check if your email or passwords have been exposed in data breaches.
