Why Strong Passwords Still Matter (and How to Create One You’ll Remember)
Strong passwords are still one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your online life. Yet many people reuse the same password across multiple accounts because remembering dozens of passwords feels overwhelming.
Here’s the good news: you don’t need complicated strings of random characters to stay safe. A strong password can be created using a phrase you’ll remember—combined with numbers or symbols that matter to you. For example, a favorite saying, a place you love, or a personal milestone.
Avoid using names, birthdays, or simple patterns. And never reuse the same password for email, banking, and social media. If one account is compromised, reused passwords make everything vulnerable.
Strong passwords don’t need to be scary or confusing. With a few smart habits, you can protect yourself and still sleep at night.
