Password Best Practices
Minimum 16 characters
NIST and most modern security frameworks recommend 16+ characters. Length is the single most important factor in password strength. A 20-character password with mixed case and numbers is exponentially stronger than an 8-character password with symbols.

Use a password manager
Generate unique passwords for every account and store them in a password manager like 1Password, Bitwarden, or LastPass. Never reuse passwords across services.

Enable MFA everywhere
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is more important than password complexity. Even a perfect password can be phished. MFA adds a second layer that stops 99.9% of account compromise attacks.

Passphrases for human memory
If you need to memorize a password (like your master password), use a passphrase: 4-6 random words separated by a character. "Correct-Horse-Battery-Staple-47" is stronger and more memorable than "P@$$w0rd!".
