### What is a secure password?
### Long, not complicated
#### Long, not complicated
Current security industry best practices around passwords focus entirely on length and not complexity.
Current 2022 security industry best practices around passwords focus entirely on length and not complexity and AyaNova supports this by allowing any length of password and not requiring any special characters.
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 currently very difficult to hack by brute force methods.

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 currently *extremely* difficult to hack by brute force methods.
There is no security advantage in modern practice to using mixed case, unusual symbols or numbers in your password.
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.
It is 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

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