The department tried to address the common mistake most people make when they choose their password for different account. Whether it’s for banks or just a simple online-shopping account, most of us tend to use the same password which makes us vulnerable to online fraud.

“Update your ‘aam’ password to the ‘King of all passwords!’ #NoAamPasswords” reads the witty caption.
