Detailed explanation-1: -Use passphrases: The most important factor in password strength is length. Passphrases are a string of words, like a favorite song lyric or quote. These can be both long and easy to remember! Aim to create a passphrase that is 16 characters or more, as required by the BU password policy requirement.
Detailed explanation-2: -Passphrases are much more secure than passwords because they’re typically longer, making them more difficult to guess or brute force. So instead of choosing a word, pick a phrase and take the first letters, numbers and punctuation from that phrase to generate a seemingly random combination of characters.
Detailed explanation-3: -What Makes a Password Strong? The key aspects of a strong password are length (the longer the better); a mix of letters (upper and lower case), numbers, and symbols, no ties to your personal information, and no dictionary words.
