The Importance of Strong Passwords
Weak passwords are easy to guess with common wordlists and automated tools. The fix is simple: make them long, unique, and not based on personal info.
Why length wins
Attackers try billions of combinations per second. Each extra character multiplies the search space. A 16-character passphrase can take astronomically longer to break than 8 characters.
Practical tips
- Use a passphrase (several unrelated words).
- Avoid reuseโeach site should have a different password.
- Turn on multi-factor authentication where possible.
