How to make a strong password
- Long beats clever. 14+ characters with mixed types, or a phrase of 4–5 random words, is hard to guess.
- One password per account. When one website leaks, reused passwords let attackers into your email, bank and social accounts.
- Turn on two-step verification for email, WhatsApp, banking and social media.
Questions
Is it safe to use an online password generator?
This one makes the passwords in your browser with the secure random generator built into it. They are never sent anywhere or stored.
Password or passphrase?
A random passphrase like "Mango-River-Candle42-Tiger" is as strong as a long random password and much easier to type on a phone.
