Let me ask a question first. Do you have many passwords you use regularly?
assistant
Yes.
user
In that case I would suggest that you create a password manager app and use it to generate strong passwords for your accounts.  There are many that do that, I can recommend an open-source one called KeePass.
assistant
What would you consider a strong password? What characters should it have and how many characters long should it be?
user
A strong password contains a mixture of characters that are easily confused with each other, such as l, I, 1, o, O, 0, etc. It also needs to contain some letters and at least a few numbers.  I recommend at least six characters, with a mixture of case letters, numbers and punctuation.  However, you will find many websites that offer password strength tests that you can use to validate your own passwords.
assistant
Okay. I think it should be a minimum of 12 characters.
