Tips for choosing a secure and memorable password

- Make the password at least 12 characters long.
- Avoid using easily guessable information, such as your name, date of birth, or address.
- Don't use words that are in the dictionary.
- Consider using a passphrase, for example: "MyDogIsNamedMaxAndIs12YearsOld!".
Recommendations for using password managers or other tools
- Consider using a password manager like LastPass, 1Password, or Dashlane. These tools generate strong passwords and store them securely so you don’t have to remember them.- Use the built-in password manager on your Apple device, called Keychain. It lets you store and autofill passwords in apps and websites.
- Enable two-step verification for your Apple ID to add extra security. This requires you to enter not only your password, but also a verification code sent to your phone.
