Password Strengthening

Length and complexity are the two major factors in determining the strength of a password. A “passphrase” is a better way to make a long and complex password, and make it easier to remember and type.

1. Create an easily rememberable phrase – such as a interesting mental image: “GreenGiraffesTurtleneckSweater”
2. Add some numbers and symbols: “GreenGiraffes37TurtleneckSweater$”
3. And you’ll have a password that current technology would take over a millennium to brute-force.
