Happy World Password Day! It’s the purr-fect time to give your accounts a quick security checkup. 🔐

Your passwords protect everything—email, banking, work systems—and they’re worth making strong. So if you’re still using something as easy to crack as “MrWhiskers2026,” it might be time for an upgrade.

A few best practices for stronger passwords:
✅ Use at least 15 characters.
✅ Combine uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
✅ Avoid personal info or common patterns.
✅ Use a unique passphrase for each account.

Pro Tip: Make it easier to remember by incorporating a sentence into a password. For example:
“My very lazy cat naps in sunny windows every day” → Mvlcniswed1988!

Small updates, BIG difference.

Stay aware. Stay safe. And as always— .

S – Set strong, unique passwords.
M – Make multifactor authentication a habit.
A – Avoid risky links, attachments, and senders.
R – Regularly do software and device updates.
T – Take care with personal info.
