If you’re using simple passwords or repeating the use of the same password with little or no variation, it’s time to make a change. Strong, unique passwords protect you in this age of data breaches and hacks, where passwords are stolen and then sold on the black market. If creating strong and unique passwords for each of your accounts sounds like a lot of work, consider using a password manager to create and securely store passwords for you.

How strong are yours? do you use a password manager?
 
YES. I only use strong passwords that are randomly generated, many characters long and include alphanumeric and special characters. Thanks, Bitwarden :)
 
If you are not making use of the strong combinations in your password, you're leaving your account vulnerable for hackers because they will certainly break in it. I think that they make use of a software that helps them with doing that, I might be wrong but it's very important that you have a very strong and sophisticated password.
 
I need to use notepad for my password because i can't remember them ..... Change time to time and generate always 10+ random and with special characters, So i think its strong enough.
I'm guessing you're always logged in your Gmail account right? I would suggest that you also update your password to your Gmail account so that you can have access to it from anywhere in the world. In case anything happened to your notepad, you will still have access to your passwords.

Yes, I agree with you @Scott , it's good idea and i do it when Google asking to save password. Actually currently i am using password manager "ROBOFORM" to manage my password and so we need to remember only password for ROBOFORM and some important files like notepad of our login credentials are sync with online cloud storage.

I think ROBOFORM is good and secure place also to save and manage all credentials with additional security. What do you think ??? Should i take any additional step to increase our security for our credentials and to access from anywhere in all over world ???
 
I pretty much only use random passwords that are letters, numbers, and symbols of over 25 characters anymore. I use BitWarden as a password manager and it has been great.
 
Yes of course! My password is very unique and can't be guessed by anyone. Personally, I can't guess my password either because I have it written down. If I forget it, it's to reset it otherwise it's gone for good.
 
With me having such a terrible memory I have a habit of using at least two or three different passwords that I know I will remember which I know isn't the greatest when it comes to safety but it is something that I do feel helps me so that I don't have to go through the issue of constantly changing my password.
 
Most of my passwords are strong enough to secure my accounts online. I never use the same password on these sites.
 
I do my best to set strong and unique passwords that cannot be easily guessed and I also need to note down these so I don't need to reset it all the time
