When creating a strong password for online accounts, which of the following practices is most recommended?

A Using personal information like your birthdate or pet's name.
B Keeping it short and easy to remember, like 'password123'.
C Combining a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, and making it at least 12 characters long.
D Using the same password for all your important accounts.

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

A strong password combines different character types (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols) and is sufficiently long (at least 12 characters) to make it difficult for hackers to guess or crack. Reusing passwords or using easily guessable personal information significantly compromises security.
