Mobile apps are now the main way people access their accounts — banking, email, social media, everything. Yet mobile users are also the most likely to use short, simple passwords.
When creating passwords for mobile apps, focus on balance: strong but easy to type. Passphrases with dashes or short random combinations like ripple-sage-onyx are ideal.
Combine that with biometric locks (fingerprint or Face ID) and 2FA for layered protection. Many users also find it helpful to store these in encrypted password managers that sync securely between devices.
