🔐 To celebrate this earlier this month, here are some tips to keep your info safe:

1. Never use personal information: Secure passwords shouldn’t reference personal info like names, birthdays, addresses, or phone numbers.

2. Include a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols: The strongest passwords include a variety of random characters.

3. Prioritize password length: People with longer and more complex passwords have lower chances of falling victim to a data breach or cyberattack.

4. Avoid using real words: Hackers use malicious programs that process EVERY word in the dictionary to crack passwords.

5. Change your passwords every 5 years: It's a good idea to change things up a bit to make sure you're ahead of the game.
