Strong Password

A strong password describes a password that is difficult to detect by both humans and computer programs, effectively protecting data from unauthorized access. A strong password consists of at least six characters (and the more characters, the stronger the password) that are a combination of letters, numbers and symbols (@, #, $, %, etc.) if allowed. Passwords are typically case-sensitive, so a strong password contains letters in both uppercase and lowercase. Strong passwords also do not contain words that can be found in a dictionary or parts of the user’s own name.

Top password managers for strong passwords

1. 1Password

1Password is a password management system employed by enterprises to store employee passwords. 1Password allows users to save complex, strong passwords without memorizing them. 1Password uses AES 256-bit encryption to protect passwords. Passwords created are encrypted and hosted on AgileBit’s secure servers.

With 1Password, individual users and IT staffs can create Vaults for specific sets of passwords. If they want to safely share a password with other team members, that employee can be added to the Vault. They’ll gain the ability to use the login credentials without having visibility of the password itself. Along with browser extensions and freestanding applications for macOS, iOS, Windows, Android, Linux, ChromeOS, and command line, 1Password is can be downloaded as a mobile app on iOS and Android phones.
