01
Never reuse passwords. Each account should have a unique password. A breach on one site shouldn't compromise all your accounts.
02
Use a password manager. Tools like Bitwarden or 1Password store complex passwords securely so you only need to remember one master password.
03
Enable 2FA everywhere. Two-factor authentication adds a second layer of security. Even if your password leaks, your account stays protected.
04
Longer is stronger. A 20-character password is exponentially harder to crack than a 12-character one, even with fewer special characters.
05
Check for breaches. Regularly verify your email at haveibeenpwned.com to see if your credentials have been exposed in known data breaches.
