Question about movement with Rigidbody | Diagnol movement going faster

Hello all, I am fairly new to c# and am working on a Rigidbody character script, but am trying to find out how to make sure the player doesn’t speed up when going forward/backward and strafing at the same time.
What would I need to look into to fix this issue? Any and all help is welcome, I just need a point in the right direction to start studying more, thanks in advance!

    void Update()
    {
        
        xInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * strafeSpeed;
        yInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * walkSpeed;


        playerMovement = new Vector3(xInput, 0.0f, yInput);


    }

    void FixedUpdate() {
        rb.velocity = new Vector3(playerMovement.x, rb.velocity.y, playerMovement.z);
    }
}

Just normalize the vector before assigning the velocity. Something like this should work.

void FixedUpdate() {
         rb.velocity = new Vector3(playerMovement.x, rb.velocity.y, playerMovement.z).normalize; //here normalize the vector 
     }

Hope this helps.

Thank you everyone for the help! I was adding some of the code to the wrong areas and managed to fix it by adding the if statement from above! Very cool, I appreciate the guidance!
