    • Use your date of birth because nobody knows it.

    • Use your name but put a number after it eg Jimmybob07

    • Use at least 6 characters mixing upper case, lower case and numbers.

    • Use a different password for every website.

    Correct Answer
    A. Use at least 6 characters mixing upper case, lower case and numbers.
    Explanation
    Using at least 6 characters mixing upper case, lower case, and numbers is suggested to create a strong password. This combination of different characters increases the complexity of the password, making it harder for hackers to guess or crack. Using personal information like date of birth or name with a number after it is not recommended as it can be easily guessed or targeted through social engineering techniques. Additionally, using a different password for every website is also a good practice to minimize the risk of multiple accounts being compromised if one password is breached.
