How to Generate a Strong Password

Formula

A strong password uses a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols with at least 12-16 characters.

Password entropy measures strength: 60+ bits is strong, 80+ is very strong, 100+ is excellent.

Common use cases:

  • Create secure passwords
  • Calculate entropy of a password policy
  • Compare strength across different lengths
