Importance of Secure Passwords in Internet Safety
Passwords play a crucial role in protecting personal information online. Using easily guessable passwords like '123456' poses a significant risk. It's essential to choose complex and secure passwords to safeguard your identity and information from cyber threats. This includes using a combination of letters (both upper and lower case), numbers, and symbols. Avoid common and predictable choices like your name to enhance password security. Remember, your online safety depends on the strength of your passwords and PINs.
