How to Create a Strong, Secure Password
Weak, reused passwords are the number-one cause of hacked accounts. A long, random, unique password for every service is the single best thing you can do for your online security — and generating one takes seconds.
What makes a password strong?
Length and randomness. A 16-character password mixing upper and lower case, digits and symbols is astronomically harder to crack than a short word with a number on the end.
How to generate a strong password
- Open the Password Generator.
- Set the length to 16 or more.
- Choose which character types to include.
- Copy your new password and store it in a password manager.
Tips
- Use a unique password for every account so one breach can't unlock others.
- Longer always beats more complex but short.
- Store passwords in a manager rather than reusing or writing them down.
