    ACTION:

    And a quick tip(s) on password protection to get you started:



    * Length Matters: Ensure your password is at least 12 to 15 characters long. Longer passwords are harder to crack due to increased permutations. Aim for 25 characters if you can!

    * Diverse Characters: Use a mix of upper and lower-case letters, numbers, and special characters. This complexity makes it more difficult for attackers to guess or use brute-force methods.

    * Regular Updates: Change your passwords regularly, ideally every 3 to 6 months.
