Length beats tricks
Each additional random character significantly increases the number of possibilities. That makes a long, random password better than a short one full of substitutions like a → @.

What does a good password look like?
Long, random and different for every account. Generate a password or a more memorable passphrase: nothing is sent anywhere or stored.
[ Tool ]
Create a new password.
Suitable as a unique password stored in a password manager.
[ Understand ]
A strong password is not Lucie1987!
An uppercase letter and an exclamation mark are not enough on their own. Attackers automatically try names, years, common words and predictable variations.
A unique password for every account
When a reused password leaks from one service, attackers automatically try it on your email, banking and social media accounts too.
Passphrases are easier to type
Several random, unrelated words can be long yet easier to read. But they must be chosen at random, not taken from your favourite quote.
[ Password or passphrase? ]
It depends on where you will use it.
Random password
Best for web accounts and apps. You do not need to remember it: your password manager stores it and fills it in for you.

Passphrase
Useful when you often type a password manually, such as when signing in to your computer or unlocking your password manager's main vault.

[ Take action ]
I have generated a password. What next?
A strong password only helps if you handle it properly.
- 01
Save it in a password manager
Remembering dozens of unique passwords is neither normal nor necessary.
- 02
Use it for one account only
Do not use the same password for any other service, even with a small change.
- 03
Enable MFA or a passkey
A second layer of protection helps even if someone gets hold of your password.
