2. Create Complex Passwords (Extended) ​The password is the ____ gatekeeper to your digital life, yet many people still rely on easily ____ phrases like "password123" or "123456." A ____ secure password must be both complex and unique. Complexity means using a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and ____ (such as !, @, #, $). The ____ is just as crucial as the variety of characters; security experts recommend a minimum length of 12 to 16 characters. This is because modern ____ techniques, such as brute-force attacks and rainbow table lookups, can crack shorter, simpler passwords in seconds. A long, ____ phrase is far more difficult to guess than a common word substitution. For instance, P@sswOrd!23 is a poor choice because it’s a common ____, but Tr3asur3ChestOfG0ld! is much stronger due to its length and randomness. Crucially, you must never ____ passwords across multiple services. If a hacker ____ one low-security website (like a forum or an old shopping site) and obtains your password, they will immediately try that same combination on your high-value accounts, such as your ____, email, and social media. This practice, known as a credential ____ attack, is one of the most common ways accounts are compromised. To manage numerous complex and unique passwords without resorting to writing them down, you ____ use a password manager (such as 1Password, LastPass, or Bitwarden). A password manager encrypts and stores all your login credentials behind a single, strong Master Password. Most managers also ____ a built-in generator that can create long, truly random strings that are virtually uncrackable. Finally, always enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) or Multi-Factor ____ (MFA) on every service that offers it. 2FA requires a second piece of information—typically a one-time code sent to your phone or generated by an app—in addition to your password. This means even if a hacker ____ your password, they cannot access your account without the physical possession of your phone, providing a critical second ____ of defense.
