What is a "password"?
A password is a secret combination of letters, numbers, or symbols used to protect an account or device from unauthorized access. It is required to log into a system, application, or website and serves as a security measure. A password ensures that only the person who knows it can access the account or information. Strong passwords are usually unique, difficult to guess, and kept private to prevent hacking or identity theft. Users may be asked to change their password from time to time for added protection.
