5 tips to make a secure password
- Use a combination of letters, numbers and symbols: A secure password should include a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols, which makes it more difficult to guess or crack.
- Avoid common words or personal information: Passwords based on common words or personal information, such as names, birth dates or addresses, are easy to guess or discover.
- Length: A longer password is more secure than a shorter one. It is recommended to use at least 12 characters.

- Change regularly: It is important to change the password regularly, at least once a year, to increase security.
In summary, to create a secure password, it is necessary to use a combination of letters, numbers and symbols, avoid common words or personal information, have an appropriate length, avoid sequences or patterns and change it regularly.
