How to Generate a Strong Password You Can Actually Remember

Weak passwords are behind most account breaches. Heres how to create strong ones — and keep track of them.

What Makes a Password Strong?

A strong password has three qualities: length (16+ characters), randomness (no dictionary words or patterns), and uniqueness (never reused across accounts). Length matters most — a long passphrase beats a short complex one.

The Passphrase Method

Instead of "P@ss123", string together random words: "correct-horse-battery-staple". Its long, memorable, and extremely hard to crack. Add numbers and symbols for extra strength.
