You should be doing all of the following: - using a long password (length of at least 16, but preferably longer) - using a password manager - using multi-factor authentication (aka MFA/2FA) - disable password auth on Unix hosts (ie. require ssh keys to login) If you're not doing all of the above right now, you should set it up immediately.
