Secure Passwords

[[Category:General]] [[de:Sichere_Passwörter]]
== Basics ==
Your password must consist of at least 6 characters (we recommend 20) and should contain the following:
* Upper case and lower case letters (A-Z or a-z)
* Numbers (0-9)
* Special characters (?_!* etc.).

== Example for a secure password ==
A secure password could look like this:
:'''u9{}eWb9U997h8$.y4YP'''

== Further Tips ==
* Don't use personal information that others can easily obtain or guess (example: your name, phone number, or birth date).
* The longer and more complex your password is, the harder it will be to guess.
* After creating your password, protect it. Don't share your password with others.
* Don't use the same password for your other online accounts, such as email, bank, and social networking accounts.

== Password Software ==
We recommend using the software 1Password. 1Password can create strong, unique passwords for you, remember them, and restore them, all directly in your web browser.
