Protect Yourself: Strengthen Your Password to Avoid Identity Theft

In today's digital age, your weak password makes you a target for identity theft as attacks increase. To safeguard your personal information, create strong and unique passwords. A good password should be long and complex—at least 12 characters with a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols. Use different passwords for each of your accounts to minimize risk. Remember, most Britons use only a few passwords, making them vulnerable. Educate yourself on password security and utilize available tools to enhance your protection.
