Your account security is only as strong as your weakest password. With growing threats and credential leaks happening daily, it’s important that your login details aren't the low-hanging fruit. Whether you're managing logins for your school, shop, or personal use—taking a few simple steps can protect you and your data.

How to Build a Strong Password:

  • Make it long – Aim for at least 12 characters. Longer is better.

  • Use a mix – Combine uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.

  • Avoid common patterns – Stay away from dictionary words, names, keyboard paths (“qwerty123”), or anything tied to your identity.

  • No repeats – Every account should have its own unique password.

  • Use a manager – Apps like 1Password or the built-in iOS Passwords app can generate and store secure passwords for you.

  • Check for breaches – Tools like haveibeenpwned.com can show if your info is floating around out there.

Final Word

We know managing passwords can feel like a hassle—but a single compromised login can expose your entire digital workspace. Use the tools available, follow the basics, and stay sharp. If you need help setting up a password manager or checking your account security, reach out. We're here to help you RISE TO GREATNESS!
