What 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.
