NordPass has suggested ways to create strong passwords. They include:

* Never reuse passwords across multiple accounts. 
* Create a unique one for each account and make them long

* Don't settle for anything shorter than 12 characters, even more, if you can. 

* Use a mix of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols to significantly lower the risk of getting your passwords cracked
