Secure Password

Why They Matter and How to Build One

Imagine this: You wake up one morning, grab your phone, and suddenly—you can't log in to your account. Your emails, files, even your game progress... gone. Why? Because someone figured out your password.

The Story of a Weak Password

Meet Alex. He used “alex123” for everything—from his social media to his email. Why? Easy to remember. But guess what? Hackers love easy. Within minutes, a brute-force tool cracked his account. The rest? History.

What Is a Secure Password?

A secure password is one that’s hard for both humans and computers to guess. It should be:
Long (at least 12 characters)

Complex (mix of upper/lowercase, numbers, symbols)

Unique (never reused across different accounts)

Think of It Like a Puzzle

A good password isn’t just random—it’s unpredictable. Think of "R!v3r$kyT1m#2025" Hard to guess? Yes. Easy to remember if it relates to a memory? Also yes!

Common Mistakes (Don't Do These!)


Using your name, birthday, or pet's name

Reusing the same password across websites

Using short passwords like "123456" or "password"

Account has been hacked. Based on real-world public breach estimation.
