Passwords & Two-Step Verification

This guide explains how to create strong, unique passwords (for example using three random words) and why you should never reuse passwords across accounts. It also introduces Two‑Step Verification (2SV) – also called Two‑Factor Authentication (2FA) – as a vital extra layer of security to protect your accounts even if your password is compromised.

In essence: choose strong and separate passwords for each account, use a password manager if needed, and enable 2SV wherever possible to significantly boost your online safety.
