Recommendations for creating a secure password
A good password is hard to guess or crack using brute force.
Never disclose your account password to anyone. The more people know your password, the higher the odds of it getting into the hands of scammers.
To create a secure password, use:
-
Both upper and lower case Latin letters.
-
Numbers.
-
punctuation:
-
allowed
``!``@``#``$``%``^``&``*``(``)``-``_``=``+``[``]``{``}``;``:``"``|``,``.``<``>``/``? -
only
~and'are not allowed.
-
What passwords are considered weak?
Here is a list of things you definitely shouldn't use for your password:
-
Passwords that you already use on other sites or apps. If someone found out the password you use for your social network, they would not only try to log into Yandex, but also other social networks, email services, and online banks.
-
Common words (
jennifer,administrator) or predictable letter combinations (qwerty,123456). -
Personal information easily accessible online: your name, birthday, passport number, etc. Even using your mother's maiden name would not be the best idea.
