Password Generator

Passwords pose a serious security risk. According to a recent survey, weak or stolen passwords are responsible for almost 80% of hacking-related breaches. Creating secure passwords is a critical first step in protecting your personal information and assets.

How to create a strong password?

1. For each account you establish, make sure you use a different password. The risk of reusing passwords is that if one site experiences a security breach, hackers can easily try the same login and password combination on other sites.
2. Passwords should not contain any personally identifiable information. Names, birthdays, and street addresses are easy to remember, but they're also easy to find online, so they should never be included in passwords for maximum security.
3. Make sure your passwords contain letters, numbers, and special characters and are at least 12 characters long. Some people prefer to use password generators that are 14 or 20 characters long.
4. Try using phrases or lyrics from your favourite movie or song to create a master password that you'll remember. Simply add random characters, but don't use them to replace straightforward patterns.
5. Passwords like 1q2w3e4r, password1, and 12345678/* are all examples of weak, regularly used passwords. S&2x4S12nLS1*, JANa@sx3l2&s$, 49915w5$oYmH are just a few instances of strong passwords.
6. When it comes to security questions, avoid using personal information. Hackers may easily find information like the name of the street you grew up on or your mother's maiden name and use it in a brute-force assault to obtain access to your accounts.
7. Avoid using identical passwords that just modify a single character or word. This technique compromises the security of your account on several sites.
8. If you have a reason to change your passwords, such as if you've shared them with someone, if a website has been hacked, or if it's been more than a year since you last changed them, do so.
