Weak or reused passwords are the most common cause of compromised accounts. A strong password should:
- Be at least 12 characters long.
- Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
- Avoid dictionary words, names, or obvious substitutions (like “P@ssw0rd”).
- Be unique — never reused across your client area, control panel (DirectAdmin or cPanel), email, and WordPress admin.
We recommend using a password manager to generate and store strong, unique passwords for every account.
