Love this chart that tells how long it takes a hacker to crack your password.

Passwords Time to Crack

I have been advising my clients for over a year that 12 is the new minimum length, and that you must use Upper, Lower, Number and Special Characters combined for the best protection.

But with all this complexity, your passwords can still be memorable without the sticky notes on or under your keyboard.   If you have a lot of passwords then I recommend a Password Manager, they are great tools to have your passwords at your fingertips on both desktop and mobile devices but protected at the same time.
