Creating strong passwords is only half the battle. Proper password management is essential for security.
Store all your passwords securely in a password manager. Popular options include 1Password, Bitwarden, and LastPass.
Add an extra layer of security with 2FA. Use authenticator apps or SMS verification when available.
Change passwords regularly, especially for sensitive accounts. Update immediately if a breach is suspected.
Never reuse passwords across multiple accounts. Each account should have its own unique, strong password.
Never share passwords via email or text. Use secure sharing methods provided by password managers.
Never write passwords down or store them in unsecured locations. Keep them private and secure.

Change passwords immediately if a breach is suspected. Otherwise, change them every 3-6 months for sensitive accounts.
