Do you know how long is enough? Of course 64 chars would be dope but I'm not good at memorizing things. I know it's trainable but I'm lazy too :)
My current password is a bit longer than 10 chars and I wonder if I should upgrade it.
- aborsy 6y ago90 bits, clean source, is bare minimum. Better to push up to 128 bits. A 10-word diceware passphrase is often recommended. If you choose a password rather than a passphrase, the bare minimum is 15 (90 bits) to 22 (128 bits) characters, upper and lower case and numbers. Either way, purely random is key here.
- jmnicolas 6y agoThanks.
- unnouinceput 6y agoUse an easily memorable personalized passphrase. One that's easy for you to remember and impossible for anyone else. Repeat it in your mind like a mantra for days and it will stay with you decades later. Personally I started doing this ~2000. I still remember my first one that I gave up meanwhile because I told it to my GF at the time and we broke up meanwhile. You can easily top 100 characters this way. Though this is not something you want to do on a touchscreen device, it's a pain there with fat fingers.
- Cyykratahk 6y agoUnfortunately, Android has a maximum password length of 16 characters.
- jmnicolas 6y agoYeah I already have a passphrase for my desktop, but for mobile I'm on GrapheneOS and it asks my password frequently enough that I don't want something too painful to enter.
