Why Your Password Was Not Valid
We noticed that the password you tried to use is not allowed because it appears on a list of passwords that have been exposed in previous data breaches. This list is called the "Have I Been Pwned" database. Let us explain why this matters and how you can choose a stronger password.
What is the "Have I Been Pwned" List?
The Have I Been Pwned list is a collection of passwords that have been publicly exposed due to security breaches or hacks. These passwords are not safe to use because they may already be in the hands of hackers. If someone has access to one of these passwords, they could potentially use it to access your accounts or steal your personal information.
Why Can't I Use This Password?
Because your password appears on the Have I Been Pwned list, it means that it has been part of a data breach in the past. As a result, it is no longer considered secure and could put your account at risk. To keep your information safe, we do not allow passwords that have been exposed in these breaches.
How to Choose a Strong Password
To help protect your account, here are some tips for creating a stronger password:
Make it long: Use at least 12 characters. Longer passwords are harder to crack.
Mix it up: Include a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters (like !, @, #, etc.).
Avoid common words: Don't use easily guessable words like "password," your name, or "123456."
Consider a passphrase: A passphrase is a series of random words that are easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess (e.g., "PurpleTigerCoffeeShop!").
What to Do Next
Choose a new password: Try creating a password using the tips above.
Check your password: If you're unsure whether your new password has been leaked, you can visit the Have I Been Pwned website to check it before you use it.
