Password Complexity

[Alexander]

When I talk about Password Complexity, I'm referring to how strong your credentials are to your online accounts. I use 8+ characters, capital letters, lower case letters, numbers, and a mixture of symbols.

What about you? Have you ever been a victim of a security breach?

Even my less secure logins (with a six-letter password, no numbers, no mixing upper and lower case) have never been hacked. For sites that matter (banking etc) my passwords are usually 10-15 characters and unless you know how I generate them you'd never guess them and you'd struggle to remember them even if I told you.

Here is what I follow. I make sure to add one uppercase letter, one symbol, 2 or more numbers and the rest normal mixed characters or numbers. And most of the time that is moderate level of complexity for most sites and acceptable as well.
