Select at least one character setWhat makes a password strong
- Length first: aim for at least 12–16 characters. Length beats complexity.
- Mix character types: upper and lower case, numbers and symbols.
- Make it random — avoid names, dates and dictionary words.
- Use a different password for every account.
How to remember them
You're not meant to memorise long random passwords for every site. Use a password manager to store them, and only remember one strong master password.
For the few passwords you do type often, a long passphrase of unrelated words is both strong and easier to recall.
