Maybe a “generate password” button which attaches together 5 random words from the English dictionary?

And maybe a few numbers randomly placed between some of the words (could be chosen randomly) and then it could tell you to write it down so you remember it.

it likely doesn't need numbers. They just make the password harder to remember, and though they make it more complex, they do it less than just sheer length.
The goal of this system is to make easy to remember, strong passwords. A long password is a strong password; but numbers and special characters make it harder to remember. “19fiend77beanie12mouse96steel41rubbish” is harder to remember than fiendbeaniemousesteelrubbish.

Saying to write it down is probably a good idea, though

but kids can also forget long passwords like stealingrubberratbunniesmousehead is really confusing and hard to remember so if they write it down somewhere they can just log back in later right? wrong they can lose it in their house the lenght is the problem but so is for how long it is

Make it 12 or more characters.

why tho? why isn’t 8 or more letters/characters enough?

i'm a bit late to this, but am i the only one that has over 40 characters in my password?

personally, when i create passwords on any website, i make sure to:

- have at least 20 characters
-have at least 4 numbers
- have at least 2 special keys
- have at least 1 capital letter
- doesn't have my name, birthday, or anything else personal about me
- is exclusive to that website (i haven't used that password anywhere else, but the website i'm using it on)

these are all of my (personal) requirements for making a password

this is a good idea but some kids could forget to write it down and end up forgetting their password but also kids perfer to make their pasword because they think its fun to do that and end up makke an easy password like idk “ILoVeTaCoS”,SuRf#%@#23 etc. and then they get hacked

I think a good Idea would be to add 2-step verification, so that even if someone guesses your password, they won’t be able to get it because they would have to have the security code that gets sent to your email in order to sign in.

there's a topic for that right here: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/291659/
