Internet security is a serious concern when you are browsing your favorite websites. Since many websites besides Gmail and iCloud require you to create an account to use them, you must ensure that your password is never compromised. That’s why you need a strong and different password for your various internet accounts.
But coming up with a strong password that you always remember can be difficult. As a result, Apple allows you to choose a strong password when registering on a new website in Safari. Here’s how to create a strong password on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
