Detailed explanation-1: -Among the list of offenders, using your first name as a password is perhaps the most easily crackable choice. Even if you use it for an anonymous account, one small slip on your end and a hacker could trace that account to one that does use your name, like a public social media profile.
Detailed explanation-2: -DON’T use blank spaces in your password. DON’T use a word contained in English or foreign language dictionaries, spelling lists or commonly digitized texts such as the Bible or an encyclopedia. DON’T use an alphabet sequence (lmnopqrst), a number sequence (12345678) or a keyboard sequence (qwertyuop).
Detailed explanation-3: -No, you should not use your name as a password. It is important to use strong, unique passwords for your online accounts to protect them from being hacked. Using your name as a password makes it easy for someone to guess and gain access to your accounts.
