Why Use a 12 Character Password?
12 characters is the recommended minimum length for secure passwords. Every extra character multiplies the number of possible combinations, making brute-force attacks exponentially harder.

With roughly 62 trillion possible combinations, a random 12-character password is strong enough for email, banking, social media, and almost any other online service.
