How to Choose a Password

This is an educational site geared to the general public that uses the Plain Language guidelines to provide information on password security.

There are two primary use cases:

  1. As a reference to be shared with family and friends so you don’t need to keep typing out the same material all the time.
  2. To be linked to by apps and websites in their password creation user interfaces. If you are responsible for implementing a password UI, feel free to link to https://howtochooseapassword.com or use some or all of the text.

Contributing

Contributions to the code and to the text itself are welcomed. Due to the intended canonical nature of this site, changes will be rigorously reviewed for accuracy with an additional focus on the language.

Be sure to familiarize yourself with the Plain Language guidelines before proposing changes to the text.

Discussion and patches should be sent to the mailing list ~benburwell/howtochooseapassword@lists.sr.ht. Please send sensitive security-related patches directly to ben@benburwell.com.
