Password complexity matters.

Don't use passwords that are easy to remember.

Use a password manager to automatically create long-phrase or complex passwords like:

catdogBadgerjumpThunderMonkeyTranscendGuitarRampant

or

This minimizes your risk of dictionary attacks, even with long-phrase common words. The random and long nature is hard to crack.

@theprivacyfoundation One of the problems I often see is someone using a password manager but securing it with a password that's too simple. I always recommend that people use diceware to come up with a secure and memorable passphrase for locking their vault.

@amolith
Completely agree. Diceware is the best method. So make it strong and then find a manager you trust. I'd recommend KeepassXC
