Click Generate to create a password.
Tip: Long passwords are usually better than short complicated ones. For most people, 16 to 20 characters is a strong starting point.

Use 4 or more unrelated words. Avoid names, birthdays, pets, favorite teams, car models, street names, or anything someone could learn from your social media.

Enter 4 or more words, then click Build Passphrase.
Strong passphrases are easier to remember when the words are random and not tied to your real life.

Most Cracked Passwords - and Why They Fail

Attackers do not guess randomly. They start with passwords people use over and over: short number strings, obvious admin defaults, and simple “password + numbers” patterns.

Top 10 passwords attackers try first

  1. 1123456
  2. 2admin
  3. 312345678
  4. 4123456789
  5. 512345
  6. 6password
  7. 7Aa123456
  8. 81234567890
  9. 9Pass@123
  10. 10admin123

These are not “smart guesses.” They are the first passwords automated tools check because millions of people still use them.

Warning: If your password looks like a name, a year, a pet name, a team, or a simple pattern, attackers and password-cracking tools are likely to try it early.
