Making a Strong Password
Strategies for Making a Strong Password:
| Do not reuse any of your existing passwords for any accounts you care about! Password reuse is very insecure! If it's too much to remember, write the passwords down in a secure place or use a password manager. |
|---|
| Attackers commonly try to log into many different websites with the usernames and passwords they obtain from other sites' data breaches. |
| Make your password at least 12 characters, and consider including uppercase letters, digits, and/or symbols in unpredictable places. |
| Attackers know that people often put numbers and symbols at the end of their password and uppercase letters at the beginning. Be different! |
| One way to make a strong password is to create a sentence that no one's ever said before and use the first letter or two of each word as your password, mixing in other types of characters. |
| Avoid basing your password around the names of people or pets, things you like (e.g., favorite songs, cars), sports, or birthdates. |
| Many other people do the same, making it easy for attackers to guess. |
