🎶 [Cue the dramatic cooking show music!] 🎶

Host: Welcome back to CyberChef! Today, we’re cooking up something extra spicy—a secure password! Just like a perfect gourmet dish, your password must have the right blend of ingredients, structure, and preparation to keep the hackers hungry but unsatisfied!

👩‍🍳 Step 1: Start With a Strong Base (Length is Key!)
A good password is like a great pizza crust—you want it thick and strong! Aim for at least 12-16 characters. The longer, the better! A short password is like a thin cracker—it’ll crumble under pressure!

👨‍🍳 Step 2: Mix Up the Ingredients (Variety is Key!)
You need a mix of different flavours to keep things interesting. Just like a complex dish, your password should include:
✅ Uppercase letters (like spicy jalapeños 🌶️: “P”)
✅ Lowercase letters (like a soft cheese 🧀: “a”)
✅ Numbers (a crunchy surprise like croutons 🥖: “5”)
✅ Special characters (a dash of exotic spice 🌟: “!@#$%”)

👩‍🍳 Step 3: Avoid Basic Ingredients (Common Words are Bland!)
Never use:
❌ “123456” (That’s like serving plain bread 🍞—too easy to digest!)
❌ “password” (That’s just serving an empty plate 🍽️!)
❌ Your name, birthday, or “qwerty” (That’s like cooking with spoiled ingredients 🤢.)

👨‍🍳 Step 4: The Chef’s Secret Recipe (Passphrase Method!)
A master chef never just throws ingredients together. Instead of using a predictable password, create a passphrase—a mix of random words that only YOU can remember.
🌟 Example: "SpicyTaco#42Dances!Mango"
This is hard to crack but easy to remember!

👩‍🍳 Step 5: Serve It Fresh! (Change Regularly!)
No dish lasts forever, and neither should your password. Change it every 3-6 months, especially if there’s a security breach. Think of it like rotating your menu!

👨‍🍳 Step 6: Store It in a Secure Pantry (Password Managers!)
Can’t remember all your unique and delicious passwords? Use a password manager—it’s like a digital recipe book that keeps everything safe!
