For Note: Use a Strong Password for your Apple ID

If you want to know a safe way to create a password, consider using:

  • Capital letters
  • lower-case letters
  • special characters (i.e. Amperstand)


Keep a hardcopy of it and store it in a safe location that only you know of. Do not share this password with anyone whomsoever.
