Weak Password? Here's the Fix
Everyone hates creating new passwords. "Uppercase, number, symbol". Result? Password123!. People are tired, but computers guess these in nanoseconds.
Length Beats Complexity
Old advice about unreadable strings is garbage. No one remembers them; they end up on sticky notes. Real security is mathematical: length beats complexity. A passphrase like correct horse battery staple is impossible for a PC to crack, but easy for a human.
Three Golden Rules
To stay safe, follow three rules. First, practice No Recycling; using the same key everywhere is digital suicide because one breached site opens all doors. Second, use a Password Manager since biological memory fails; let a digital vault handle the complexity so you only have to remember one Master Password. Finally, enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) as your house alarm—even if the key is stolen, thieves cannot enter without the code from your phone.
Conclusion
Security shouldn't be paranoid, just smart. With these three steps, 99% of risk vanishes.
