Frequently Asked Questions
How is password strength calculated?
Password strength is determined by multiple factors: length (at least 8+ characters, ideally 12+), inclusion of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Each factor contributes to an overall score.
What makes a password strong?
Strong passwords are long (12+ characters), include mixed case letters, numbers, and special characters, and avoid common words, patterns, or personal information. Passphrases are often recommended for better security.
Should I use the same password everywhere?
No, never reuse passwords across different sites. If one service is compromised, all accounts with the same password become vulnerable. Use a unique password for each important account.
Is a password manager necessary?
While not mandatory, password managers are highly recommended. They securely generate and store complex, unique passwords for all your accounts, eliminating the need to remember multiple complex passwords.
