How to Generate Strong Passwords (And Why You Must)

In 2024, over 8 billion passwords were exposed in data breaches. The shocking truth? Most were weak, reused, or predictable.

What Makes a Password Strong?

A strong password must be at least 12 characters long, contain uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, and must NOT be a dictionary word or name.

Never Do This

Using password123, your pet's name, or your birthday is practically handing hackers your account. Even substitutions like p@ssw0rd are in hacker dictionaries.

Use a Generator

The safest approach is to use a random password generator. Our Password Generator tool creates cryptographically random passwords instantly — you can choose length and character types.

Use a Password Manager

You don't need to remember 50 unique passwords. Use a manager like Bitwarden (free) or 1Password to store them safely.

Enable 2FA

Even a perfect password can be phished. Two-factor authentication adds a layer that protects you even if your password leaks.
