How to Generate Strong Passwords

A strong password should be hard to guess and hard to brute force. Longer random passwords are usually stronger than short passwords with predictable substitutions like replacing an A with @.

For important accounts, use a unique password. Reusing the same password across sites is risky because one breach can expose many accounts.

A good generator should let you choose length and include a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. For most accounts, 16 characters or more is a reasonable starting point.

• Use unique passwords for important accounts.
• Use a password manager to store them.
• Enable two-factor authentication when available.

Base64 or URL encoding does not protect passwords. Encoding changes how text is represented, but it is reversible. Real account security depends on strong passwords, secure storage, and good authentication practices.
