Passwords remain a critical security control despite their well-known limitations. The most effective password security combines strong, unique passwords for every account with multifactor authentication to defend against compromise.
What Makes a Strong Password
Length is more important than complexity. A 16-character passphrase is stronger than a 10-character password with special characters. Unique passwords for each account prevent a breach at one service from compromising your access everywhere.
Password Manager Benefits
Password managers store strong, unique passwords and automatically fill them when needed. They eliminate the need to remember complex strings while making it impossible for passwords to be reused across accounts.
