What Makes a Password Strong?

Password strength is determined by entropy — the amount of randomness or unpredictability. Higher entropy means exponentially more combinations for an attacker to try. The key factors are length and character set diversity.

Password Best Practices

  • Use at least 12 characters — length matters more than complexity
  • Use a passphrase: 4+ random words are stronger than a short complex password
  • Never reuse passwords across sites
  • Use a password manager (Bitwarden, 1Password, Dashlane) to generate and store unique passwords
  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever available

Frequently Asked Questions

Length is the most important factor. A 16-character password is exponentially stronger than an 8-character one. Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
Yes. Password managers generate and store unique, complex passwords for every site, so you only need to remember one master password.
Modern guidance (NIST 2017+) suggests changing passwords only when you suspect compromise, not on a fixed schedule. Using unique passwords for each site is more important.
