Blog FAQ

Common questions about password security and authentication

What's the difference between a password and a passkey?

Passwords are strings of characters you type. Passkeys are cryptographic keys stored on your device that prove your identity without ever typing a password. Learn more.

Should I use a password manager?

Yes. Password managers securely store unique passwords for all your accounts. It's one of the best security decisions you can make. Compare password managers.

How long should my password be?

At least 12 characters, but 16+ is better. Length matters more than complexity. A 20-character passphrase is stronger than an 8-character password with symbols. Calculate cracking time.

Is two-factor authentication (2FA) necessary?

Yes, especially for important accounts. 2FA prevents account takeovers even if your password is compromised. Learn about 2FA methods.

What's the safest way to sign into accounts?

Use FIDO2 security keys (most secure) or passkeys if available, then password managers for other sites, with 2FA everywhere possible. Learn about FIDO2.
