Answer explanation

What is considered a strong password?

Instead of common words that are easy to guess, essential components of a secure password include sufficient length and a mix of special characters, numbers, and uppercase and lowercase letters.

People like to use passwords that will be easy for them to remember, so an easy way to create a new password that is both secure and easy to remember is to use a common passphrase and convert that phrase to a password.

So a password example might be, "I have 2 Labrador retrievers! Fido and Spot," which could be expressed as Ih2Lr!F+S.
