What's a good random password?

The best random password is not truly random in your head, but it looks random to anyone else. Use three or four unrelated words, add a number and a symbol, and mix in a capital letter. For example, 'ChairLamp42@Cloud' is strong because it has length, variety, and no obvious pattern.

Avoid common substitutions like 'p@ssw0rd' or sequences like '1234'. Instead, think of a tiny story: 'RedFox!9Mango' works because it is odd but memorable. You can also use a dice roll or a random word generator, but then write it down somewhere safe, not on a sticky note on your screen.

For your wedding website, a random password is great for privacy because guests cannot guess it from your names or date. Share it in your invitation or a separate email, and remind guests to save it. If you worry about forgetting, use a password manager on your phone.
