## What is a secure password?

### Long, not complicated
Current best practices around passwords are all about length. For the highest security ensure your password is as long as you can comfortably remember without writing it down. We recommend using a lengthy but easily remembered phrase as a password, for example a song lyric or a line from a poem that is 32 characters or more of words is difficult to hack by brute force methods.

There is no longer any security advantage in modern practice to using unusual symbols or numbers in your password and no need to do this with AyaNova.

It is far more secure to have a lengthy password of plain text than it is to have a shorter one with a mix of numbers and characters.

For example: this password `somewhereovertherainbowskiesareblue` is far more secure than this password `Ab3#@%5` and easier to remember without writing it down.


### Impersonal
Make sure you have nothing personal in your password such as a relative or pet's name or relative's date of birth etc.

## Password manager
Many people prefer to use a password manager utility and AyaNova supports this by allowing copy and paste in the password field, clearly identifying it as a password field in the HTML markup and including an "eye" icon that you can use to reveal or conceal the password as you enter it.
