Why password security matters
Data breaches expose millions of credentials each year. A strong, unique password for every account is your first line of defense.
How attackers break passwords
- Dictionary attacks — common words and predictable patterns
- Brute force — trying many combinations (shorter passwords fall fastest)
- Credential stuffing — reusing leaked email/password pairs from other sites
What makes a password strong
- At least 14 characters for important accounts
- Mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols
- No personal info (names, birthdays, phone numbers)
- Unique for every website and app
Use our Password Generator to create strong passwords locally — nothing is sent to a server.
Use a password manager
A reputable password manager stores unique credentials encrypted, autofills logins, and reduces the temptation to reuse passwords.
