E.g. at least 8 character in windows. B) Should consist of alphanumeric and spatial characters, and should have at least one upper character in case all other letters are lower case or otherwise. C) Do not use any word found in dictionary not only in English but also others means all. Tip deliberately misspelling one or more words can make your password harder to crack.
