When you create a username for any online account, you almost always have to create a password that you'll use to log in to that account.

 

A safe password is a combination of eight letters and numbers that doesn't include information that's easy for others to guess, like your name or your birthday.

 

It's also not a good idea to use the word "password" as your password, or an easy string of numbers to guess like "1234."

 

It's important to choose a different password for each website that you log in to with a username. For example, the password for your Google account should be different from the password for your FacebookŪ account.
