Best Answer

A secure password should have letters (both capital and lowercase), numbers, and punctuation or symbols (such as a period [.], underscore [_], or dash [-]) if the website allows those characters.

Sometimes it may be safer to have a pass phrase instead of a password, like instead of "password", it could be "thisismypassword", with numbers put in place of letters and some letters capitalized.

In general, it should be something that no one could guess, so it shouldn't be anything like your username or given name, your spouse's name, or your address.

How a password protects data against crminal elements?

Passwords allow only authorised people to view the information. Without the password - the data remains secure.
