10 tips and tricks for creating strong passwords
1) DO NOT USE letters and numbers in sequence (e.g. qwerty, abcde, 12345, asdf).
2) NEVER use your birthdate as your password.
3) COMBINE letters, numbers, and symbols (ex: $, %, !) to form a password of at least eight characters.
4) REFRAIN from using your name as your password.
5) DON’T create a password that includes any of your personal information as these details can be found online. 6) Additionally, steer clear from using your family members’ names and birthdays, pet names.
7) AVOID using overly common passwords, such as P@$$w0rd, password, 1234567890, ioveyou, etc.
8) STOP reusing passwords. Every new password you create should be unique.
9) STRONG passwords can be long passphrases where you combine multiple words into a long string of characters (ex: correcthorsebatterystaple, randommousebottlepickle). Don’t forget to add some numbers and symbols, too!
10) REFRAIN from changing just one character whenever you update your password (ex: MyG@laxyPassw0rd01, MyG@laxyPassw0rd02, MyG@laxyPassw0rd03).
Do not write passwords in notepads or on sticky notes!

Age Well Kiwi
We are a new support group for seniors. We meet once a month to share our experience and discuss our challenges & concerns.
With the growth of our ageing population, and more seniors living alone, this group would explore and advocate/address the social, emotional and physical needs of our seniors, and promote positive and healthy ageing.
We meet on the first Saturday afternoon of the month in Mt. Roskill. Our next meeting will be 3 Jan 2026.
If you are interested in joining us and contribute your ideas, knowledge, experience, talents and resources, we would love to hear from you. Please contact us at agewellkiwi@gmail.com.
