• Use at least 2 special characters, a number, a lowercase letter and an uppercase letter.
• Never use the same password for different services.
• Do not use sequences of numbers or simple letter combinations.
• You can easily remember your password if you combine words: "Emil and Jonas" becomes "3Mil + j0Nas!".
• Change your password regularly.
