What Makes a Password ‘Strong’ or ‘Weak’?

A strong password is like a secret code that's hard to guess. Imagine your password as the key to your treasure chest. If it’s short and uses common words, someone might figure it out quickly. But if it’s long and mixes letters, numbers, and symbols, it becomes much harder to crack. That makes it a strong password!
