# It's important to use a secure password, coming up with one from your head | |
# is very difficult, since algorithms can guess and predict them. A secure password | |
# can be generated by using 5 or 6 random words. 5 words will give you about 65 | |
# bits of security which is extremely high (you will not get something like this | |
# with a manual password unless you use a bunch of random symbols, numbers, etc. However | |
# 5 words are much easier to remember, especially if you ONLY use these with a password | |
# manager that you use daily. | |
# Wordlist can be found here: https://www.eff.org/files/2016/07/18/eff_large_wordlist.txt | |
# You can also use a 6 sided dice if you don't trust your computer :) (check the wordlist numbers on the left) | |
# You should either write down the password and destroy after a few days, or come up with a | |
# mnemonic / story that connects all 5 words together | |
