Password Security 101: How to Generate Strong Credentials

The Problem with "123456"

Despite years of warnings, "123456" and "password" remain among the most common passwords. In an age of automated brute-force attacks, these weak credentials can be cracked in milliseconds.

What Makes a Password Strong?

• Length: At least 12 characters (16+ is better).
• Complexity: A mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
• Unpredictability: Avoid common words, birthdays, or keyboard patterns (qwerty).
