How do I choose a strong password?

A strong password is essential to ensure the security of your account. Follow these recommendations to create a secure and hard-to-compromise password:

Requirements for a secure password:

  • Ideal length: the password should be at least 12 characters long. The longer and more complex the better.
  • Character combination: use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols (e.g., @, #, !, *).
  • Avoid predictable information: do not use your name, birthdate, or easy-to-guess words, like “password123”.

Additional tips to protect your password:

  • Use long and unique phrases: passwords like “Mountain!Sun&Summer2024” are safer and easier to remember.
  • Do not reuse passwords: avoid using the same password across different websites and apps.
  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): this adds an extra layer of security to your account.
  • Update your password regularly: change your password every few months to reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
  • Store your password securely: use a trusted password manager to store and generate strong passwords.
