Password length:
Less than 18 characters not allowed, but no complexity required either (upper-case, lower-case, symbols, etc.)
Dictionary words are vulnerable!
"18 characters?! Okay, I'll find a 18 character word in the dictionary."
"Try again, if it's in a dictionary, it can be cracked in minutes."
How to build a password
Select 3 or more random words that you can remember, string them together, voila! Your password is strong and you'll be set for a year and a half before needing to do that again.
Example: Pick 4 things you like
cat taco volleyball music
That is 25 characters!
