Create Strong Passwords

8 slides • 2 minutes • beginner friendly

TIP 1

Length beats complexity

Security experts now say a longer password matters more than a short tricky one. Aim for 16+ characters — a whole phrase is stronger than P@ssw0rd!.

TIP 2

Build a memorable passphrase

Pick 4 random words and stitch them together, like correct-horse-battery-staple. Easy for you to remember, hard for a computer to guess.

TIP 3

Let a password manager remember

A manager stores every unique password for you, so you only memorize one master password. Most are free to start.

TIP 4

Add a second lock: 2FA

Turn on two-factor authentication on email and banking. Even if a password leaks, the second step keeps thieves out.

TIP 5

Never reuse passwords

One leaked password should not open every account. If a site you use gets breached, change that password everywhere you reused it.

TIP 6

Protect your master key

Your master password guards everything. Make it your strongest passphrase, and set up recovery options so you never get locked out.
