favorite musician, even if it includes numbers and special characters. A
stronger option is to create a password using an uncommon phrase with a mix of
letters and numbers. Update your password now.

Correct!

This password example is the strongest because it’s a long, uncommon phrase with
a mix of letters and numbers. The longer your password, the harder it is to
crack. Be sure to create a unique password for online banking, and don’t re-use
a previous password. Update your password now.

Try again.

For your password, don't use your pet’s name or anything else someone could
easily guess or find on social media. A stronger option is to create a password
