The choice of password is the most important element for logging on and for creating an account on the Internet. The challenge: to prevent our identity being used by others. Identity theft can be carried out by large-scale hackers, but also by fraudulent software (especially for commercial purposes). Without going that far, usurpers are sometimes relatives who have seen or guessed our password, or strangers who find a session open on the computer :
choose a different password for each account. It's tedious, but it's the perfect opportunity to exercise your creativity and memory!
make sure that each password is a clever mix of lower case, upper case, numbers, signs ;
change your passwords regularly ;
don't forget to log off before leaving the computer.
