Google-Zomato recipe for the perfect internet safe-tea er... password is here

Screengrabs from the recipe of 'internet safe-tea' shared by Google India and Zomato on Instagram.

Google India collaborated with Zomato to spread awareness on how to create a strong password by taking some help from "kadak" chai. In a video uploaded on Instagram, the "recipe" is winning laughs and a few hearts.

The clip shows a strong password being brewed with the help of tea leaves, water, milk, and sugar labelled as uppercase and lowercase letters, special characters, and numbers.

After brewing for some time -- a step that the video calls "password checkup" -- a two-step verification "sieves" it to ensure account safety. and just like that, a hot cup of "cyber safe-tea" is ready.
