How do I create a secure password?
The best way to create a password that's hard to hack is to think of a phrase that you can easily remember and turn it into code (tip #1). This will prevent almost anyone from getting into your account. At the very least, it will significantly hamper the process.
Here is an example: I have a wife and two children. Sounds pretty simple, doesn't it?
Here is the transformation - Ihv1Wf&2Kds. By simply removing all the vowels after the “I” and turning some words into symbols, we were able to create a secure password. Of course, you can choose another phrase or phrase that works better for you and that will be easy to remember.
Here's another example to make sure we get it right. There is a phrase by Leo Tolstoy that I particularly like. She says, “If you want to be happy, be.”
We can turn it into IUW2b:) B.
If you choose such a password and want to use it across multiple accounts, be sure to personalize it for each account.
For example, if you want to use your skills in creating unique passwords for Netflix, you can change it to “IUW2b:) bn3TFL! x”.
Of course, these are just examples. You can change your password however you want, but try using different boxes, numbers, and special symbols. Be original and create a password that makes sense to you (and hopefully no one else), so it's easy to remember.
Remember that one of the most important things about passwords is to:
Try to be creative with your password
Remember that malware considers your password to be a “Mastermind” game. The more complex your password is, the longer it will take for malware or a hacker to crack it. Here I am talking about years and decades, not just hours.
Be that as it may, for your information, a computer can try 350 billion combinations per second. If you think your password is well protected, think again.
There is another small glitch that could mislead you into thinking that you have a good password. It will be easier to explain if we make up a story.
Here's the deal:
You have a date with a pretty girl/boy in a restaurant. For the purposes of the example, let's call the restaurant “Dating"*.
*Offtopic: I googled my first dozen name ideas to find one that isn't taken. So if you want to open a restaurant, “Dating” is available. Because not only do I want to help you create the best passwords, but you also get free business information. You are welcome:) My aim is to please.
Let's go back to the story. You are at the “Dating” with charming company. Everything is great, and finally, at some point, you come home. You can't fall asleep. So, like any normal person, you go to the Internet to pass the time. First, you're probably going to spend a bit of time on social media or checking your email. Finally, you find an interesting site to shop, browse, or do other things.
You now need to register on this new site and here is my advice no. 2: avoid involving emotions when creating a password! When you're looking for good password ideas, “Dating” or your date's name may top your list because you're emotionally involved in the evening's events. Even if you don't realize it. And it's a password that could: A) easily be forgotten over time, or B) easily hacked. It's one of the less obvious things to consider when creating a password.
Summary.
By the way, this is the right place to give you another safety tip. No site or institution will ever ask you for your password, whether by email or by phone. So if that happens to you, be sure it's a fraud.
Keep the following in mind: your passwords are your keys to the online world. Since we do almost everything online, they are very important. I think we answered the question “How do I create a secure password?” , so keep these tips in mind when creating new accounts. Also, remember to update your old passwords. Take care of yourself!
