In January 2019, a large collection of credential stuffing lists (combinations of email addresses and passwords used to hijack accounts on other services) was discovered being distributed on a popular hacking forum. The data contained almost 2.7 billion records including 773 million unique email addresses alongside passwords those addresses had used on other breached services. Full details on the incident and how to search the breached passwords are provided in the blog post The 773 Million Record "Collection #1" Data Breach.
troyhunt.comThere are 21,222,975 unique passwords.

I recommend to everyone to check if your password is on this list on haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords .
If you are sceptical about entering your password there you can download the whole database of hashed passwords on the bottom of that site and try to look for yourself.

The password generator of my choice would be XKPasswd as there are multiple presets to choose from for generating the password.

i dont think putting complex characters in, say a 8 char string makes any big difference over a normal string. It's better to have a long sentence of normal words rather than having the PITA of remembering wh1cH 133T'$p33k you used.

Also I couldnt find a way to search for a combo after seeing one broken password.

A fun anecdote.

As a private individual I used to think I was pretty good at generating passwords and stewarding my various financial transactions on the internet and so far, I haven't had a major breech or financial set back.

But since becoming responsible for the administration of a company credit card - from the same bank I've always used as a private individual - it has been stolen 4 times in 3 years. Luckily the bank has caught the offending transactions before they ever cleared all 4 times, but clearly I wasn't doing enough.

honestly as long as your password isn't a single dictionary word and you dont reuse them its fine

personally i use a password database for important stuff and variations on a simplish password for everything else
