Here Are Some More :
These are some poor passwords, so if you're using these
type of password, or if your password is related to the above
listed passwords, please change them immediately and
protect your online accounts from hackers. To truly protect
your accounts, follow the advice you provided and change
your passwords immediately if you use any of these. Here
are three key strategies for creating secure, complex
passwords that are still easy to remember:
1. The Passphrase Method (Recommended)
Instead of a single, short word, use a long, memorable phrase with punctuation, known as a passphrase.
Example: Instead of "master," use TheM@sterOfD0gswalks1!
Formula: Combine several unrelated words, replace some letters with numbers or symbols (L33tsp3@k), and add punctuation.
2. Use a Password Manager
This is the most secure method. A password manager (like LastPass, 1Password, or Bitwarden) generates highly complex, unique passwords (e.g., Z#p7@9!r$Q&k2) for every account and safely stores them behind one Master Password (which should be a strong passphrase).
3. Practice Uniqueness
Never reuse passwords. If a hacker compromises one of your accounts (say, a retail website), they will immediately try those same credentials on your high-value accounts, like email and banking. Each account should have its own unique password.
