Strong passwords keep accounts safe. The easiest way to get them right is simple: use long, random strings generated by a trustworthy tool, store them in a password manager, and enable MFA wherever possible.
Core Best Practices
- Use at least 16 characters for everyday accounts; 20–32+ for admin or database credentials.
- Prefer fully random strings over patterns or words. Random prevents guessable structure.
- Include upper and lower case, numbers, and symbols when allowed.
- Never reuse passwords. One breach should not endanger other accounts.
- Use a reputable password manager to store and autofill securely.
- Enable MFA (TOTP, hardware keys) for critical accounts.
Generate Passwords Safely
Our Password Generator creates strong passwords entirely in your browser using secure randomness. Nothing is transmitted or logged.
Choose length and character sets to meet policy requirements. If symbols are restricted, increase length and include mixed case and numbers.
Standardize generation rules, store in an approved manager, rotate only when needed, and use MFA for high‑risk systems.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Short passwords that meet only minimum requirements.
- Using dictionary words, names, or predictable patterns.
- Storing passwords in notes or spreadsheets without encryption.
- Disabling MFA due to convenience.
- Recycling passwords across services.

Conclusion
Strong passwords are simple when you rely on length, randomness, a secure manager, and MFA. Use the generator, avoid patterns, and reserve changes for high‑risk events.
Never share passwords over email or chat. Use secure channels and role‑based access.
