What makes a password strong

• Length beats complexity. 16 random characters, or 5 or more random words, are far stronger than “P@ssw0rd!”.
• Avoid patterns. Names, birthdays, years, keyboard runs (qwerty, 12345) and “word + number” are tried first.
• Never reuse passwords. When one site is breached, attackers try the same email and password everywhere else.
• Turn on two-factor authentication for email, banking and social media.
