How to create strong passwords?


Creating strong passwords is crucial for online security. Here are some tips to help you create strong passwords:

  1. Length: Aim for a minimum of 12 characters, but the longer, the better.
  2. Mix and match: Combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
  3. Uniqueness: Use a unique password for each account. Avoid reusing passwords or variations.
  4. Randomness: Use a password generator to create a truly random password.
  5. Avoid common patterns*: Steer clear of common patterns like "qwerty" or "123456".
  6. Don't use personal info: Avoid using your name, birthdate, or common words related to your personal life.
  7. Update regularly: Consider updating your passwords every 60-90 days.

Some examples of strong passwords include:

  • G$e4L9aK#M2p (a generated password)
  • Iam@S3cur3! (a passphrase with a mix of characters)
  • Tr0ub4d3!#4g3 (a password with a mix of characters and numbers)

Remember, the key is to create passwords that are unique, complex, and difficult to guess. If you're struggling to keep track of your passwords, consider using a password manager like Google Password Manager!
