What is a recommended security practice for your account?

Changing your default password to protect your account is a fundamental security habit. Default credentials are commonly known or easily guessed, so replacing it with a unique password removes a common entry point for attackers. Not sharing your password and keeping it secret are important, but they don’t solve the problem if the password itself is a known default or weak. Using a simple password like "12345" is highly insecure because it can be cracked quickly. By changing the default to a strong, unique password, you significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
