Creating good passwords

Length matters. Uniqueness matters more.


The most important rule: uniqueness

Bad:

Instagram = Minou2026!
Facebook  = Minou2026!
Amazon    = Minou2026!

Also very bad:

Instagram = Minou2026Instagram!
Facebook  = Minou2026Facebook!
Amazon    = Minou2026Amazon!

The structure is still predictable. Prefer automatically generated passwords, different for every site.

Cybermalveillance.gouv.fr recommends at minimum long and complex passwords when you have to create them yourself.

Every recommendation links back to official documentation.
