How do I create a secure password?
- Bad: Applesauce1! – You’re using different character types, but the majority of the password is a single word from the dictionary
- Okay: ILoveGreenApplesauce – You’re using multiple words and lots of characters, but the words are too common.
- Good: !70v3Gr33n@pple$auce? – You’re using multiple words and lots of characters with uncommon substitutions. Good job.
- Best: Use a reputable password manager with a random password generator.
