Tips for secure passwords

Use a password manager

• 1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass, or similar
• Generate unique, strong passwords
• You only need to remember one master password

Change regularly

• Change the password every 3-6 months
• Change immediately if compromise is suspected

What to avoid

Avoid	Why
Same passwords	If one is cracked, all are at risk
Personal data	Names and birthdays are easy to guess
Simple patterns	123456, qwerty are known passwords
Writing down	Notes can be found

Problems changing it?

”Old password incorrect”

• Check for typos
• Is Caps Lock enabled?
• Use the forgot password feature

”New password not accepted”

• Does the password meet all requirements?
• Is it long enough (min. 8 characters)?
• Does it contain uppercase and lowercase letters?
