[@adelehare8495]

People who don’t write down their passwords and just remember all of them are literally not human

[@burgercris]

You just have to force yourself to type it in everyone. Auto fill and auto save passwords allow you to forget.

[@adelehare8495]

I never auto fill or anything but I forget a lot of them because I have so many accounts I rarely use

[@renelynjavier111]

I remember all of them

How to create a strong password: put your cat on your keyboard.

[@ncedanikhanyisile5105]

😂😂thats a grt idea

[@keonscorner516]

Note: I have a keyboard with almost all Unicode characters

[@Ken.-]

What happens when your cat dies? How will you log in?

[@cjzanders5430]

My theory is that its good to use words in different languages that use English letters. You can use a short sentence in that language that no one would even think about. For instance, if your favorite movie is "The Godfather," you can use a 20 word quote in Italian and you'll always remember it. On paper it looks like a bunch of random letters, and you can add some capital letters and numbers to it to make it even harder. It's almost as secure as Fort Knox.

[@dennisp8520]

These are good tips the only one I strongly disagree with is the 8 character minimum. Passwords should be 12 characters in length minimum with them being ideally 16+. Anything less than 12 characters is easy to brute force

[@ElKay500]

When does it (start) getting hard? -that’s what she said

The minimum is 16 characters

My company forces all staffs to change their password each month, with min 10 characters, up & low cases, and symbol. And they couldn't be reused or even similar combination. Everyone ends up writing their pw on a sticky note and hide under their keyboard.

[@Ken.-]

If they can't use a similar password, then your company is storing them, otherwise they wouldn't know you are using a similar one. That's a seriously bad security to do that. Find another job.

Correcthorsebatterystaple. Google that comic. An overly long passphrase that you will always remember but would take ages for a algorithm to get through. There is a concept of dictionary attacks, but words only you alone know always works. My Google password is basically a whole chapter of a book but I can always remember the phrase
