Social media profiles usually contain a lot of personal information. To ensure users that data is secure, set reasonable password requirements. Keep in mind that coming up with a password that meets all security needs can be tedious and time-consuming.

To help users create a password:

1. Clearly but briefly explain password requirements
2. Avoid setting too many requirements — users can get frustrated and abandon the task
3. Provide real-time password validation. For example, as a user types a capital letter into the field, the capital letter requirement gets a green checkmark
4. Add the option to show/hide password
5. Add a password strength meter. For example, a script to visually show security levels: green, yellow, and red^[1]
