Five Good Tips to Avoid or Solve the Problem
Use unique passwords for each account:
Never reuse the same password. This limits the damage if one account is hacked.-
Create strong, complex passwords:
Combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Example: G!raffe_2025# -
Use a password manager:
Password managers (like Bitwarden, 1Password, or LastPass) can create and remember strong passwords for you. -
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA):
Add an extra layer of protection so that even if someone gets your password, they can’t access your account without the second verification step. -
Change passwords regularly and avoid sharing them:Update passwords every few months, and never send them by message or email.
