    “That day Riya learnt an important lesson. A weak password
                                     makes it easy for someone else to get into your account, so always

                                                         choose a strong one to stay safe.”

                     Some common password mistakes to avoid are:

                         Using simple passwords such as 12345 or common words that are easy to guess.

                         Reusing  the  same password  for many  accounts,  which increases  risk if one
                         account is hacked.

                         Sharing passwords with friends or writing them where others can find them.

                         Including personal information like your name, pet’s name or date of birth.

                         Keeping the same password for a long time without updating it.

                         Saving passwords in unsecured notes or messages that can be accessed by
                         others.

                     Avoiding these mistakes helps keep your digital world more secure.
