Do: Use a password manager
A password manager, like 1password, will remember all your passwords. You’ll only need to create and remember one master password.
Don’t: Let your devices remember passwords
Keep it where it’s safe from hackers: inside your head!
Do: Make it long
It’s best if your password is at least 12 characters long.
Don’t: Use common passwords
Avoid any variation of these commonly used — and commonly hacked — passwords:
- 123456123456789
- Passwordadmin
- 12345678qwerty
- 1234567111111
Do: Mix it up
Vary capitalization and types of characters used, switching back and forth from letters to numbers to symbols.
