What makes a password secure?

A secure password is long (12+ characters), includes a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, and is randomly generated — not based on dictionary words or personal information.

How long should my password be?

For most websites, a minimum of 12 characters is recommended. For sensitive accounts like banking or email, use 16+ characters. Each additional character exponentially increases the time needed to crack the password.

Should I use a password manager?

Yes. Password managers generate and store strong, unique passwords for each of your accounts. This means you only need to remember one master password instead of dozens of complex passwords.
