Tips for Creating a Strong Passphrase
Forget tricky passwords—passphrases are the new standard. They're longer, easier to remember, and much more challenging to guess.
What makes a strong passphrase?
- Longer is better: Use at least four random words, with a total of 14+ characters. Example:
purple mountain rocket door - Unpredictability is key: Avoid common phrases or quotes. Try random words instead.
- Make them unique: Don't use the same passphrase for different accounts. If one gets hacked, the rest are safe.
Stay Safe with Your Passphrase
- Never share your passphrase
- Don't use public Wi-Fi without a VPN
- Log out when you're done
- Be cautious of emails or messages asking for your login details
If you suspect your passphrase has been compromised, change it immediately and check your email at Have I Been Pwned to see if it has been exposed in a data breach.
