"No matter who you ask, the most important factor is length. Length is more important than complexity and randomness," Comparitech consumer privacy advocate Paul Bischoff told us in an email.

Of course, adding a random character into a long passphrase doesn't hurt either, Bischoff noted... //

Using gibberish passwords and relying on a password manager is still better than qwerty123, of course, and Bischoff says that goes for browser-based password management, too. You're still taking matters into your own hands, of course, as Chrome updates have been known to break Google Password Manager, and password manager apps aren't 100 percent secure either.

Whatever you do, don't let yourself be caught with a password on Comparitech's list, and if it's your responsibility to set password complexity rules, make sure you're setting good ones.
