Since Nourishly for Clinicians has access to sensitive patient entered data, it is important you setup a strong password. This means not using dictionary words, names or places as part of the password and often having a symbol, digit and/or uppercase in the password.
Examples of weak passwords
- 4New*York. This may look strong but it is actually weak due to having two dictionary words.
- Ufed1982. Having a year in there makes this password weak. In general don't string numbers together.
The best way to create strong passwords is to use a password manager suck as 1password or BitWarden. They have a bit of a learning curve but worth the effort.
One common way to create strong passwords is to come up with a memorable phrase and use the first letter from each word. e.g.
"I really enjoy working from the great outdoors instead of at my desk”.
Could create a password Irewftgoioamd which is very strong even without a number or symbol.
