How to choose a secure password?
A strong password is important to protect our accounts and data from unauthorised access. Hackers and criminals can exploit vulnerabilities in our passwords to gain access to our accounts, steal our personal information and cause direct or indirect financial damage.
If a criminal cracks your password, they may be able to access your personal information, including your address information, banking information, national insurance number, credit card information and more. In addition, hackers may be able to use your password to send spam emails from your account, infecting you or your contacts with malware.
