Your Password is your shield against malicious people who tries to hijack any of your account. The features of a strong password are; it is hard to guess it by others, and it is easy for you to remember.
Using numbers, symbols and mixed-case letters in your password increases the difficulty of guessing or cracking your password. Moreover, it is recommended that you have to create a unique password for each of your important account.
When you use the same password across the web, a cyber criminal can gain access to a less secure account and then use that password to compromise your important accounts.
