I. How do I create a secure password?

To make your password as secure as possible, it must be at least 10 characters long. The 10 characters of your password must include numbers and letters as well as one or more special characters such as "@/$#". It is not advisable to include your surname, first name or date of birth in your password. Do not include any personal details that could easily be found by malicious people (your children's names, for example).

It is advisable to change your password every three to six months and not to use the same password for different accesses. It is not advisable to store your different passwords on a cloud or on the notepad of your smartphone, which can easily be consulted by other people.

Many websites have password generators for this purpose.
