Password Security 101: How to Generate Strong Passwords

Passwords are the keys to your digital life. Yet, "123456" is still the most common password. In an age of GPU-accelerated cracking, weak passwords are a liability.

Entropy Explained

Entropy measures how "random" or hard to guess a password is. A short password with weird characters (P@$$w0rd) is actually weaker than a long phrase of random words (correct horse battery staple).

Best Practices

• Length: Aim for at least 16 characters.
• Randomness: Humans are bad at being random. Use a tool.
• Uniqueness: Never reuse passwords across sites.
