Password habits that actually help

A long word that differs per account helps more than a short word decorated with one symbol. A password manager reduces reuse if its copy lives somewhere you understand.

A second step on mail and on accounts that pay or publish matters more than making the guest-network word ornate. Do not send the word in a chat, and do not leave it on the screen.

If you think a word leaked, change it from your usual device, not from a link that arrived in a message. This page does not check your words and does not store them.
