Weak passwords are a primary cause of account compromises. Using long, random passwords is one of the easiest ways to improve security.

Best practices

• Use at least 12 characters.
• Include a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
• Use a unique password for each account.
• Consider a password manager to store long passwords.

Using the Toolbox Password Generator

Open the Password Generator tool, choose length and character sets, then generate. Copy the password to your password manager.
