Safe Passwords

Your server is only as secure as your weakest password. As a rule of thumb, the more complex a password, the stronger it is.

So, for example,

candy123


would be extremely insecure, whereas

Tmb1W\>r~ii


would be pretty secure.

Generally, insecure passwords:

  • Are shorter than eight characters
  • Are based almost entirely on dictionary words
  • Do not mix in numbers and special characters


Whereas secure passwords:

  • Are at least ten characters, if not longer
  • Omit dictionary words
  • Have a healthy mix of numbers and special characters
