✅ Cyber‑Bob’s Daily Cyber Safety Tip — #109

“Passwords Are Like Underwear — Change Them Often!”

Howdy, friends! Cyber‑Bob here, with another nugget of digital wisdom. 🕶️💻
You wouldn’t wear the same pair of socks for a month (I hope!), so don’t keep the same password for years. Hackers love old, weak, and reused passwords — they’re like open doors with a “welcome” mat.



Cyber‑Bob’s Golden Rule:

Use strong, unique passwords for each account.
That means a mix of letters (both kinds), numbers, and symbols — the digital equivalent of armor plating.


🔹 Make It Easy, Not Forgettable:

  • Try a passphrase instead: a few random words you’ll remember.
    Example: PurpleDaisy!Drives2Town

  • Use a password manager to remember them for you. It’s safer and easier than sticky notes on your monitor!


🔹 Bonus Senior‑Smart Tip:

If any account offers 2‑step verification (2FA) — take it!
It’s like adding a deadbolt to your online door.


🧠 Cyber‑Bob’s Motto:

“Keep your passwords fresh and your hackers frustrated!”
