Email account sign up new account password

Go to the Priyo Gmail Sign-Up Page: Visit the Google Account creation page.

Fill in Your Information: Enter your first and last name, choose a username (this will be your C-Mail email address), and create a strong password. Make sure your password is unique and includes a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters for better security.

Verify Your Account:  U-Mail Google may ask you to verify your account using a phone number. This step helps in recovering your account if you forget your password.

Complete the Setup: Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup. You might need to provide some additional information like a recovery P-Mail email address.

How do I choose a strong password?

• Length: Aim for at least 12 characters. Longer passwords are generally more secure.
• Complexity: Use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters (e.g., @, #, $, %).
• Avoid Common Words: Don’t use easily guessable words like “password,” “123456,” or your name.
• Unpredictability: Avoid using easily accessible personal information like birthdays or pet names.
• Passphrases: Consider using a passphrase—a series of random words or a sentence that is easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess (e.g., “BlueSky!Mountain$River2024”).
• Unique Passwords: Use different passwords for different accounts to prevent a single breach from compromising multiple accounts.
• Password Manager: Use a password manager to generate and store complex passwords securely.

What are some common password mistakes to avoid?

• Reusing Passwords: Using the same password across multiple accounts is risky. If one account is compromised, all others using the same password are vulnerable.
• Using Personal Information: Avoid using easily guessable information like birthdays, names, or favorite sports teams.
• Short Passwords: Passwords that are too short are easier to crack. Aim for at least 12 characters.
• Simple Patterns: Avoid predictable sequences like “123456” or "qwerty".
• Minor Variations: Changing a password slightly (e.g., “Password1” to “Password2”) is not secure. Hackers can easily guess these patterns.
• Sharing Passwords: Never share your passwords through insecure methods like email or text messages.
• Storing Passwords Insecurely: Writing passwords down or storing them in plain text files can lead to unauthorized access.
• Using Common Passwords: Avoid common passwords like “password” or "letmein".

What is two-factor authentication?

Something You Know: This could be an additional password, a PIN, or an answer to a security question.

Something You Have: This might be a physical device like a smartphone, a security token, or a smart card. Commonly, this involves receiving a code via SMS, email, or an authentication app.

Something You Are: This includes biometric verification methods such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or voice recognition.
