Password for
Notion

Notion requires a minimum of 8 characters, but for a work account that floor is too weak. Notion frequently holds a company's entire operating brain — product specs, roadmaps, HR records, customer notes, and internal wikis — so a compromised login can expose far more than a single document. The practical recommendation in 2026 is a 14-character random string, giving roughly 91.8 bits of entropy and putting a brute-force attack beyond any realistic offline GPU effort. An 8-character password offers only about 52.4 bits, which falls short of modern guidance. Generate one below — it is created inside your browser using the Web Crypto API and is never sent to a server, logged, or stored. Add two-factor authentication, and if your team uses SSO, sign in through your identity provider so access can be centrally managed and instantly revoked when someone leaves.

Security note

Work accounts often have access to company data. A breach here can affect your whole organisation — treat this password like an admin credential.

The maths, specific to Notion

The maths makes the case plainly. Notion's 8-character minimum yields around 52.4 bits of entropy — below the 80-bit threshold NIST SP 800-63B uses as a practical baseline for withstanding offline cracking, meaning a leaked hash could be ground out with enough hardware. A 14-character random string reaches about 91.8 bits, comfortably above that line and computationally infeasible to brute-force offline, demanding centuries of GPU effort. Because entropy scales with each random character, raising the count from 8 to 14 multiplies the keyspace rather than merely adding to it. For a workspace that consolidates strategy, customers, and internal documentation in one searchable place, that extra margin is exactly what keeps a single leak from becoming a catastrophe.

Why Notion accounts are targeted

Notion is attractive to attackers because it tends to centralize an organization's most sensitive working knowledge — roadmaps, contracts, employee data, and customer details — in a single, searchable workspace. Cracking one account can unlock pages far beyond the victim's own, enabling lateral movement across teams and projects. Credential stuffing compounds the threat: passwords exposed in unrelated breaches are replayed against work tools, and a reused Notion password hands an attacker the keys to the company's documentation layer. Once inside, they can quietly exfiltrate plans, harvest further credentials noted in pages, and map the organization for deeper attacks, making Notion a prime foothold.
