Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An alphanumeric password contains numbers, letters, and special characters (like an ampersand or hashtag). In theory, alphanumeric passwords are harder to crack than those containing just letters.

Detailed explanation-2: -Use a mix of alphabetical and numeric, a mixture of upper and lowercase, and special characters when creating your unique passphrase. Use unique passwords or passphrases: You should have a unique password for each of your accounts.

Detailed explanation-3: -A strong password is one you can’t guess or crack using a brute force attack. Hackers use computers to try various combinations of letters, numbers, and symbols in search of the right password. Modern computers can crack short passwords consisting of only letters and numbers in mere moments.

Detailed explanation-4: -A strong password is one that is easy for you to remember and hard for anyone else to guess. A strong password should be at least six characters in length, and should include a combination of upper and lower case letters, at least one number and at least one keyboard character, such as a punctuation mark.
