From emails to banking to social media to shopping and donating, the average person spends almost half of their day online. The reality is: many of these sites hold information that’s kept secure with a user-generated password.

A string of 5 to 16 characters is all that keeps hackers from accessing your information. That’s why it’s so crucial that online users implement password security best practices and create strong passwords for every account they use.

• minimum length of atleast 7 chareacters
• atleast have one a numeric value(number)
• atleast have one nonnumeric character(e.g. &?!)
• atleast have one uppercase letter
