October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month


Passwords? That's so last year. No, let's try a passphrase.


 

A strong password doesn’t have to be hard to remember — it just needs to be long and unique. Combine a few random words to create something easy to recall but nearly impossible to guess, like:


--> cactus-rainbow-ocean 

--> library-taco-galaxy

 

Avoid personal info, and don’t reuse passwords across accounts.

 

 

Tip: The longer the phrase, the stronger the protection.

Passkeys protect against phishing and make sign-ins faster.
You can set one up in your Google Account settings:
