Why it matters:
A weak password is like a flimsy lock. Cybercriminals use automated tools to guess passwords—especially easy ones like “123456” or “qwerty”.

Tips for creating strong passwords:

• Think in phrases: “MyDogRexEats@7” is easier to remember than J7@A!kLp.

• Add unpredictability: “S@feC0ffee*Cup!” is harder to crack than “Coffee123”.

Password reuse risk example:
Imagine your Facebook password is the same as your email password. If Facebook is hacked, someone could easily access your email—and from there, reset passwords for banking, shopping, etc.

Tool highlight:

• Bitwarden: Free, open-source password manager.

• LastPass or 1Password: User-friendly, good for families.
