20.01.2022 Do you struggle to create safe passwords that you also won't forget? Well we've got the tips for you 1. If you *must* use your name, birthday or an important date (i.e.: information easily found by cyber criminals) make it obscure! Write your name backwards, add in a series of numbers or symbols, use random capitalisation. 2. Use something unique to you that cyber criminals won't be able to easily find. e.g.: your first pet's name and the year you got them with random capi...talisation and symbols - !LockYThELizarD2019! 3. Instead of using notes or a spreadsheet to write down your passwords keep a record of *hints* that will only make sense to you, and please, don't label the file PASSWORDS. Please. Was this helpful? Do you want more cyber safety info? Let us know below
