cryptic password

A password that is ambiguous or without meaning. For example, "N2fr#@jHQ" represents a cryptic password. Usually comprised of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, cryptic passwords decrease the chance of someone accessing your accounts. (Just be sure to write them down or store them somewhere safely so you don't forget them.)
