How to Create a Strong Password

  • Use at least 12 characters (longer is better)
  • Mix uppercase and lowercase letters
  • Include numbers and special symbols
  • Avoid common words, names, and keyboard patterns
  • Don't reuse passwords across different accounts
  • Consider using a password manager
  • Use passphrases made of random words

Understanding the Metrics

Entropy: Measures password randomness in bits. Higher is better. 60+ bits is good, 80+ is excellent.

Crack Time: Estimated time for a computer to guess your password using brute force attacks.

Strength Score: Overall rating from 0-100 based on length, complexity, and security best practices.
