Passwords are quickly becoming an obsolete means of authentication on the internet. But they are not going away any time soon. A strong password and good password management habits can go along way to help you secure your digital life. Below is a random password generator that will help you create strong passwords, but strong passwords are just a start. Here are three tips that are important to good password management.
** Updated** I have previously recommended Lastpass and until recently they have been a reputable password manager. Lastpass has been involved in several security incidents the last of which was a loss of their clients' backed-up encrypted password vaults. I no longer recommend Lastpass not exclusively because of the security incidents but because of the handling of the incidents, and the lack of disclosure to their clients.
Use different complex passwords for important websites like email, banking, shopping, etc.
Use a reputable password manager to store your password like Bitwarden or 1Password.
Last and most important use 2 factor authentication like google Authenticator if available.
Do your own research about passwords and password management, Check out Steve Gibson's Password Haystack page to get started. He does a really good job of explaining it in an easy to understand way.
