Creating a Strong Password

A strong password is at least eight characters and contains letters, numbers, and symbols. You can view the complete guide to creating a strong password on Microsoft’s site and test the strength of a password you have created.

A strong password should not be a common word or something many people know about you. It should not resemble an actual word after using symbols, letters, and numbers.
