A pet name, birthday, or "1234" at the end of your password gives hackers a massive head start.
Most password-cracking tools try these common patterns within the first few seconds.
The fix is simple: make your password at least 12 characters long, and mix in uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
Better yet, use a password manager to generate and store truly random passwords — then you only have to remember one master password.
Ask your child: "What would make a password really hard to guess? Can you come up with a passphrase we could both use?"
