📏
Use 16+ Characters
Length is the single biggest factor in password strength. A 16-character random password is exponentially harder to crack than an 8-character one.
🔑
Use a Password Manager
You don't need to memorise strong passwords. Use 1Password, Bitwarden or LastPass to store unique passwords for every account.
🚫
Never Reuse Passwords
If one site gets breached and you reuse that password, attackers try it on every other service. Each account must have a unique password.
📱
Enable 2FA Everywhere
Two-factor authentication means even if your password leaks, attackers can't log in without your phone or authenticator app.
🔄
Rotate High-Value Passwords
Change passwords for your email, banking and primary social accounts every 6–12 months as a precaution.
