Creating a Strong Master Password

Your password should be hard to guess and shouldn't contain personal information like your birth date or phone number.

Long passwords are stronger, so make your password at least 11 characters long. These tips can help you create longer passwords that are easier to remember. Try to use:

  • A lyric from a song or poem

  • A meaningful quote from a movie or speech

  • A passage from a book

  • A series of words that are meaningful to you

  • An abbreviation: Make a password from the first letter of each word in a sentence

Avoid choosing passwords that could be guessed by:

  • People who know you

  • People looking at easily accessible info (like your social media profile)
