Why do passwords need to be complex?

Having passwords that are easily guessed or cracked introduces a large security risk to critical assets. Complex passwords should contain a good mixture of upper/lower case letters, numbers, and symbols.

Which is an example of a complex password?

Use a combination of upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and special characters (for example: !, @, &, %, +) in all passwords. Avoid using people's or pet's names, or words found in the dictionary; it's also best to avoid using key dates (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.).

Does password complexity matter?

Strong and complex – Strong passwords are still key. Security experts agree that upper and lowercase alphanumerical characters are good practices for increasing passwords strength and making it capable of resisting guessing and brute-force attacks.
