The UK's National Cyber Security Centre would like to politely remind you that three random words are a good, secure password. ... Because everything, increasingly, wants you to have a unique account and password for its service.
NCSC recommends a three-word password because it bypasses some of the most common ways that criminals crack passwords. These are things like single words with predictable substitutions (5 for S, or ! for 1) and brute-force techniques that rely on shorter passwords to succeed. "The stereotypical password is a single dictionary word or name, with predictable character replacements," says the NCSC.
In contrast, a three-word password is something you can realistically remember...It's also easy to adopt and modify for different sites' requirements...

Make your password at least 60 characters, with no fewer than 12 each of capitals, numerals, and special characters, and mix everything up in a completely random sequence. Then write it on a Post-it and stick it on the edge of your monitor, because you’ll never be able to remember it.
Candy Matson Yukon for OTR knowledgeable people.
No, but now I suspect they were the last 3 passwords used on Hitlery’s mail server or the 2016 DNC email account lol

I had to spell that in seventh grade English.
Imagine you are a hacker who gets in and downloads the encrypted passwords. You would brute against them so now you could come in all nice and proper through the front door. And also would have those pw’s to try on that user’s other probable accounts at major websites.
Too common.
LOL!

I use Youralooserto. I read it on FR.
I just don’t do any critical tasks online. No banking, no online bill-paying, no medical information, nothing.
Breaking my password to blog accounts like FR isn’t going to do them any good.
Yup :)

Per FR spell check that is the correct spelling.
