Why Password Strength Matters

Protection Against Attacks

A strong password is your first line of defense against unauthorized access to your accounts. Here's why password strength is crucial:

  • Brute force resistance: Strong passwords resist automated attempts to guess your credentials
  • Dictionary attack defense: Using uncommon combinations prevents attackers from using word lists
  • Account security: The stronger your password, the less likely your accounts will be compromised

Password Creation Tips

  1. Use a minimum of 12 characters – the longer, the better
  2. Mix uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters
  3. Avoid using personal information like names, birthdays, or addresses
  4. Don't use sequential keys like "qwerty" or "12345"
  5. Consider using passphrases – multiple random words combined
  6. Use different passwords for different accounts
  7. Consider using a password manager to create and store complex passwords

Password Security Best Practices

Unique Passwords

Use a different password for each account to prevent credential stuffing attacks and minimize damage if compromised.

Two-Factor Authentication

Enable 2FA wherever possible to add an extra layer of security even if your password is compromised.

Password Managers

Use a reputable password manager to generate, store, and auto-fill strong passwords for all your accounts.

Regular Updates

Update passwords regularly, especially for critical accounts like banking, email, and work-related services.

Keep Private

Never share passwords via email or text. Use secure password sharing features when collaboration is needed.

Monitor Accounts

Regularly check your accounts for suspicious activity and change passwords immediately if anything seems unusual.
