How to Create Strong Passwords

August 3, 2018 By Ty Cahill

So how do we create strong passwords that are harder to crack? Common sense certainly plays a leading role, but here are some quick guidelines:

  • Don’t use words found in the dictionary.
  • Mix in numbers and symbols, when possible.
  • Use capital and lowercase letters.
  • Length matters! Longer passwords can take significantly longer to crack.
  • Never re-use a password from another website.
  • Use a password manager to generate unique, random, strong passwords. My favorite is 1Password.
