                                             Password Protection

                                             One of the most basic ways  to protect  your  personal information
                                             online is by using strong passwords. A strong password should be
                                             unique, complex, and difficult for others to guess. Using a combination
                                             of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, and avoiding
                                             easily guessable words like "password" or your name can help keep
                                             your accounts secure.
