Length matters more than complexity

A long phrase is often harder to brute-force than a short, complex one.

  • Weak: Tr0ub4dor&3 (Complex but short)
  • Strong: correct horse battery staple (Long and random)

Tips for Security

  1. Use a Password Manager: Don't rely on your memory for every site.
  2. Avoid Personal Info: Names, birthdays, and pet names are easy to guess.
  3. Unique Passwords: Never reuse passwords across important sites (Email, Banking).
  4. Enable 2FA: Two-Factor Authentication adds a critical layer of defense.
