• Length: Typically, a minimum length of 8 characters is recommended, but many systems now require 12 characters or more. Longer passwords are generally more secure.
• Digits: Many systems require at least one or more numerical digits (0-9).
• Special Characters: A special character requirement often includes symbols such as ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + - = [ ] { } \ | ; : ' " , < . > / ?.
• Uppercase Letters: Most systems require at least one or more uppercase letters (A-Z).

General Recommendations:

• Complexity: Aim for a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
• Avoid Personal Information: Do not use easily guessable information such as your name, birthday, or pet's name.
• Password Managers: Consider using a password manager to generate and store strong, unique passwords for each of your accounts.
• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Whenever possible, enable 2FA for an added layer of security.
