Sara, an employee at a tech company, has created a new password for her work email account. Which of the following passwords adheres to standard password best practices and provides greater security?
123456789
Password
B1ue$ky2023!
SaraTech!
The password "B1ue$ky2023!" is 12 characters long and combines uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and a special character. It does not include personal information or dictionary words, giving it higher entropy and making it resistant to brute-force and dictionary attacks. "123456789" is a short numeric sequence that appears on lists of the most commonly compromised passwords and can be cracked almost instantly. "Password" is a single dictionary word that also ranks among the weakest and most frequently breached passwords. "SaraTech!" contains the user's name, no numbers, and only one symbol, so it lacks sufficient complexity and relies on easily discovered personal information, making it relatively weak.
