Your password is the first layer of protection against unauthorized access to your Tresorit account and files. It also generates the master key that encrypts and decrypts your data, so choosing a strong password is essential.
Tresorit password requirements
Minimum of 8 characters
Must include uppercase and lowercase letters
Must contain at least one number
Strong password tips
- Aim for 12+ characters – longer passwords are harder to crack
- Combine uppercase (A-Z), lowercase (a-z), numbers (0-9), and symbols ($ * !)
- Use a passphrase with unrelated words for extra strength
Common mistakes to avoid
- Don't use obvious words like password or personal details (name, birthday, phone number, pet's name, etc.)
- Don't add full dates (26011987) or other easy-to-guess information
- Avoid simple or reversed sequences (123456, abcdef, 654, ONM)
- Skip keyboard patterns (qwerty, asdf)
- Don't repeat characters (aaaaaa)
- Avoid common substitutions (p@55w0rd)
- Don't use the same password across multiple accounts
Password managers
Consider using a password manager to manage passwords across multiple accounts. It can:
- securely store your credentials
- generate strong, unique passwords
- help you update passwords regularly
We recommend 1Password or KeePassXC, but there are many trusted options available.
