Strong passwords

A page on the importance of strong passwords and the basic tips every online user should follow. The meaning of a person's identity is defined through our external features such as our biometric characteristics (eye color, fingerprints, etc.), our name, our date of birth, our signature. However, our online identity has a more dynamic character and arises mainly from our digital footprint: our online friends, what we share, the image we project about ourselves. If someone steals our passwords, they can automatically become "us", so the protection of our passwords and consequently of our digital identity is of paramount importance on the internet. Therefore creating strong passwords, different for each account you use is a very important step.
