How to make a "very stong" password?

SweetShelby · Oct 18, 2008

I hope I am posting this question in the right section of the Forums.

Recently I had to create a password for a website.

There was a meter that indicated if your password was Weak, Medium, Strong or Very Strong.

I ended up making a password that was 16 characters long. It was a mix of numbers, capital letter and lowecase letters, and none were duplicated.

I got my password up to "Strong," but no matter what I tried I couldn't make a "Very Strong" password.

What would a Very Strong password entail?

A strong password should be exactly what you described...a long list of characters...mixed lower and upper case...perhaps a couple numbers or a comma thrown into the mix

I'm guessing here but very strong might be more than 16 characters and also include some punctuation symbols as well as numbers (upper and lower) and numbers.
