How to create strong passwords: complete guide 2025
Learn best practices for creating secure passwords and protecting your online accounts.
Why are strong passwords essential?
83% of people reuse passwords across multiple sites. When a service is hacked, attackers test those credentials on other sites — an attack called credential stuffing.
Characteristics of a strong password
- Length: Minimum of 15 characters (the more, the better)
- Complexity: Mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols
- Uniqueness: A different password for each service
- Randomness: Avoid predictable patterns like "123456" or "qwerty"
The best solution: password manager
Honestly, the best strategy is to use a manager like OneckPass to:
- Generate random and strong passwords automatically
- Store them all securely
- Auto-fill on websites
- You only need to remember ONE master password
