..."Choose a complex password. Consumers can prevent account hacking by using a complex and unique login password. It may sound simple, but individuals clearly don’t follow the advice: 123456 is the most common password leaked on the dark web. Choose a password that’s 12 characters or longer, and don’t use the same one twice; use a password manager or write down passwords. For those who fear losing that piece of paper: This approach isn’t nearly as risky as re-using simple passwords for all accounts, Velasquez said."
