Why length beats cleverness
Every extra character multiplies the attacker’s work. “correct-horse-battery-staple” style passphrases — four random words — are both stronger than “Tr0ub4dor!” and easier to remember and type. Aim for 14+ characters everywhere, 20+ on email and banking.
The two accounts that matter most
Your email (it resets everything else) and your bank. Those two get unique, long passphrases and two-factor authentication, no exceptions. A password manager makes the rest effortless — one strong master passphrase, unique random passwords everywhere else.
“Online” vs “offline” attack — why two numbers?
Guessing through a login page is slow (sites throttle attempts) — that’s the online number. But when a website gets breached and its password database leaks, attackers run billions of guesses per second on their own hardware — that’s the offline number, and it’s why a password that looks “fine” can fall in minutes after a breach. Unique passwords per site contain the damage.
