How to create strong passwords

Creating strong, complex passwords that are difficult to decrypt by hackers is one outstanding way we can bolster our cybersecurity. The Housing Agency ICT Support gives the following recommendations:

  • Passwords should be 8-20 characters long.
  • They should not contain your name, dictionary words, or simplistic patterns.
  • They must include three of the following: Uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters (!,@,#,$, etc.).
  • Avoid repeated characters, like BBB or 888.
  • Do not use common sequences like ABC or 123.
