How do I set a strong passphrase?

Pick four words (or more) that you can easily remember to create your passphrase.

Generally, the longer a passphrase is, the stronger it is. Your passphrase must be showing "strong" in order to be accepted.

You can create a strong passphrase by following these guidelines:

  • Use 4 random but memorable words

  • Don’t form a sentence

  • Don't use previous passphrases

  • Special characters and numbers are helpful but not necessary

  • Don’t use personally relevant words that are publicly available (your real name, company name, industry, email/username etc...)

 

Examples of a strong passphrase (please don't use):

DIFFIDENT-sunshine-ROBIN-Welcome

space-camp-Mashed-Potatoes4!

WEAK-KITCHEN-SENT-near-FORGOTTEN

neck-BROTHER-SUDDEN-belfast

SAY-spoken-journey-GREATLY
