Explanation:
Passwords are the first defensive line in protecting your data and information. Your users need to be made aware of what a password provides them and what can be done with their password. They also need to be made aware of the things that make up a good password versus a bad password. A good password has mixed-case alphabetic characters, numbers, and symbols.
