Have you recently been hacked or are you worried about being hacked? The password is often the first barrier of protection to establish. But for it to be effective, it is still necessary to respect some golden rules (and remember them).<\/p>\n
To begin with, you will not actually need to choose just one password, but several. Ideally, it should be different for each site or platform you subscribe to. The goal is to protect your accounts in case of hacking: if one of them is compromised and you have chosen a unique password, the others will be more likely to be compromised as well.<\/p>\n
Your passwords should be long AND complex. A minimum of 12 signs are recommended. In these 12 signs, you should include: uppercase, lowercase, numbers and finally, special characters.<\/p>\n
