To protect your online accounts from being taken over with weak or reused passwords, it is important to follow a few best practices:

1. Create complex, hard-to-guess passwords consisting of a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.


2. Do not use the same password twice or re-use passwords from other online accounts.


3. Change passwords for all online accounts regularly and set up multi-factor authentication whenever possible.


4. Do not share passwords with others under any circumstance.


5. Use a unique password for each online account.
