Experts stressed the need to take great care when creating passwords for your accounts on any platform, while avoiding the use of 9 types of passwords so as not to fall victim to one of these scammers.

Here are 9 types of passwords that should be avoided according to the consultants of "NetVoucherCodes".

1-use the same password for all accounts: if you use one password for all your accounts and one hacker succeeds in hacking one account, he will be able to hack the rest of your accounts because you use one password.

2-use pet names: absolutely do not try to use the names of your favorite pets as a password because a hacker can guess the name when logging into your account and seeing the photos of animals that you post.

3-using the word "password": stay away from using the word" Password "or one of the similar patterns such as" password 1", because they are usually the first experiences of hackers, especially if it turns out that you are not technically smart enough.

4-put a 1 after a name: if you receive a notification that an unusual login attempt to your account has been received, you must change the password.in this case, don't just add the number 1 to the old password and change it completely.

5 - Use Nicknames: you should avoid using your nickname or name when creating a password, because it is something easy for hackers to predict.

6-using clear patterns or sequences such as 1, 2, 3, 4: because it facilitates the penetration process, so be unique and do not use clear and easy sequences and try to make it more difficult.

7 - use uppercase letters only: to create a typical password, it must contain one of the uppercase letters, but using all uppercase letters weakens the password.

8-Use important dates: do not use Important dates such as your birthday or your wedding day and other dates that you share through your different accounts because in this way you facilitate the hacking process for scammers.

9-use your home address and street name: one of the easiest information that scammers and hackers can find out is the address, so it is not preferable to use it when creating passwords.
