Use stronger passwords for important accounts and be sure they are at least 12 characters long and minimally include 1 uppercase letter, 1 lowercase letter, one number, and one special character or symbol
Change your password frequently. Every 10 - 12 weeks is recommended
Do not use the same password or challenge questions for multiple accounts
Do not use dictionary words
Do not use family, pet or friend's names
Do not use birth or graduation dates, home addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers or other personal identifiers
Do not use similar passwords where the variations are obvious (e.g. m4Y$BTwitter, m4Y$BBankOne, m4Y$BAmazon)
Do not use standard patterns (e.g. 12345, querty, etc)
Why Use A Password Generator
Password generators help with password discipline - ensuring length and character requirements are met
Password-Generator.co uses 68 possible characters for generation so an 8 character password would generate over a trillion possible combinations
To the extent that machines can be random, passwords are randon and don't fall into unintentional patterns or variations of other passwords
Other Security Concerns
Do not use a password generator that stores your passwords - Password-Generator.co does not store passwords
Don't click on "change password" links in email unless you've requested the change; navigate directly to the website's change password page and change your password if you're unsure
Never send passwords or account information in email. Use Signal or Cyphr
Do not enter your password into websites using HTTP; be sure the site is using HTTPS and has a valid cerificate
When on public Wifi use a VPN service to prevent others from sniffing your password
