Best Practices for Creating Strong and Memorable Passwords

General Guidance

• Length and Complexity: Aim for a password that is at least 12 characters long and includes a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
• Avoid Predictability: Do not use easily guessable words or sequences like "password", "123456", or personal information such as your name or birthdate.
• Uniqueness: Ensure your password is unique and not reused across multiple sites to prevent security breaches.

Making Passwords Memorable

• Passphrases: Create a passphrase by combining random words into a phrase that is easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess.
• Acronyms: Use the first letters of a sentence or a favorite quote to form a password.
• Character Substitution: Replace certain letters with numbers or symbols to add complexity while keeping the password memorable.
• Personal Mnemonics: Use a memorable event or a favorite quote and modify it slightly to create a strong password.
