I only knew that if I use a password with Lower, Upper letters + Number + Symbol, I will have a stronger password. It is what I was told but I did not know details of how strong or weak my password can be with letters, numbers, symbols. Are your passwords in the Green ? is a good article to answer my curiosity. https://twitter.com/hivesystems/status/1499806942897790977By reading it and their tests to brute force passwords, their tables, I understand more that why exchanges usually force users to create password with 8 characters at least and must have combinations of upper, lower letters and numbers and symbols. Because it will require more resources to to hash exercises and brute force your password successfully. For password of non custodial wallet which we have to secure it by ourselves, a strong password is very important to prevent hackers get access to our coins.

Its a good start, but my suggestion is never use your birthdate, name, mobile and name combination, this are easily be guess by bad people. or maybe hackers, never use number number password like 1-0 combination, welcome password, its better to use password generator.

A strong password, also maybe 2FA added on top of that, all do help. (But make sure the 2FA device is different than the one your browser or Exchange app is.) I use a password manager (Bitwarden) and it has a great password generator too. Since I started using this my passwords are longer (all 15+, usually even 20+) and with bigger set of characters too; and more random too. Just look how nice the Generator is and how beautiful the resulted password ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftalkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2023%2F05%2F18%2Fblobf537ce884c534b8b.png&t=665&c=0X_sC57SU27dkA) In this context I will add something more: don't keep too much money on exchanges; the hackers may be from outside or from inside; in some cases (bankruptcy or exit scam) even a strong password or 2FA won't help.

Most of the attacks are online attacks which is through malware which are avoidable. Using a strong password is very important, a strong password will contain upper case, lower case, numbers and characters like @$#+-;£[%¥✓,. I prefer my password to be 10 character long, but the more the characters, the better the strength of the password to resist brute force attack. A strong password, also maybe 2FA added on top of that, all do help. (But make sure the 2FA device is different than the one your browser or Exchange app is.) I use a password manager (Bitwarden) and it has a great password generator too. Since I started using this my passwords are longer (all 15+, usually even 20+) and with bigger set of characters too; and more random too. Just look how nice the Generator is and how beautiful the resulted password ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) What I am mostly bothered about with my exchange accounts is to have 2FA which would be on a different device, without that I think my security is not complete without 2FA. But 2FA can not protect you from SBF kind of exchange bankruptcy and exchange hack like you said.

About password generators, we are always get an offer to use password generators by Google. For newbies, always remember to try to avoid using password generators from Google. The reason is, every password that has been generated using Google, will also be offered to save it through a Google account. When you do this, of course, your password privacy will no longer secure.

Here you can find offline password manager for Windows and Linux - https://github.com/cyberfilth/LazLockFeatures: 128 bit AES encryption; Portable application with no need to install; Fast decryption on the fly; A plain text version of your data is never written to disk as all decryption is done in memory.

if you wish to memorise the password yourself instead, you should go with passphrases in 4~6 random words. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.arstechnica.net%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F03%2Fpassword_strength-4f60fa9-intro.png&t=665&c=bd6I7XciR1h9ew) changing passwords do not help for the ones not exposed to any security breaches or risks at all, so change it per necessity.

out of ability to use the signature, i want a new ban strike policy that will fade the strike after 90~120 days of the ban and not to be traced back, like google | email me for anything urgent, message will possibly not be instantly responded i am not really active for some reason

if a hacker can get into your computer to steal your wallet.dat
they dont need to spend years brute forcing the password they already got into your system. they simply put in a key logger and wait for YOU to type in the password no matter how long or complicated it is
if someone can get your wallet file they can also watch your keyboard. so making a lengthier password wont change that
,, if the hacker does not or has not hacked your computer to steal a wallet. dat. and instead it involved a online service then yes have a complex password you log in with,
and use varying degree's of complexity dependant on how much value can leak if its compromised.
EG a spam email account you dont get anything important on . dont worry so much. your life savings online bank account. be super complex with the password
dont use same password for all services

A longer PW is better than a short PW. Gmail accept 99 characters (lower, upper, number & symbols) and WinRar accept 127 characters, As long as you can use "cut and paste" - use a LOOOONG PW. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

The longer the password the better. The more you use different special characters the better. Upper case, lower case, numbers, etc. Different sites have different rules with special characters.
Password generators are good, but they're more difficult to use. When written down, you won't just be able to glance at them and remember them, as opposed to something more familiar.
