Strong Password

Overview

A Strong Password is one that is difficult to guess for both a human and a computer. Length and complexity are the key elements. The longer the password, the better. The more "classes" of characters you use, the better. For instance: "password" is a terrible, easy to guess password. But: "My-Secret-Credential-1-!" would literally take beyond a billion years for a computer to guess. It has 24 characters and uses all four classes of character, Upper Case, Lower Case, Number, Symbol. But, the way it is written makes it easier to remember for YOU. Combined with MFA, this provides great security.
