    Type a password below to see how strong it is and what could make it stronger.

    Your password never leaves your device
    • At least 12 characters long
    • Contains an uppercase letter (A–Z)

    • Contains a number (0–9)
    • Contains a symbol (!, @, #, $, etc.)
    • Not a common word or simple pattern

    Tips for creating strong passwords

    1.

    Use a phrase, not a word. A random sentence like "My cat loves sunny Tuesdays!" is much stronger than a single word, even with substitutions.

    2.

    Never reuse passwords. If one account is breached, a unique password keeps all your other accounts safe.

    3.

    Use a password manager. Free options like Bitwarden (bitwarden.com) or Apple Keychain (built into iPhone) remember all your passwords so you only need to remember one main password.

    4.

    Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA). Even if someone gets your password, 2FA sends a code to your phone that they also need. Most banks, email, and social media accounts offer this for free.

    5.

    Change your most important passwords once a year. Especially your email and banking passwords. See our annual security checklist guide for a full yearly routine.
