HOW TO CREATE A STRONG PASSWORD?





Hello friends! A little sunny day today!


SAFETY AND PRIVACY are the main expectations towards any website. Currently, passwords are primarily the key feature to preserve them.


Everyone of us is using so many passwords today. Right? For us, it looks like a safe one. But always remember hackers may try to mess with you at any time. So, be sure to create a strong password and change it at least once in three months.


Okay! Shall we discuss some basic tips on how to create and maintain a strong and secure password!?


Below are some tips from me.
  • Never ever use short passwords. Make it a little long{for that, don't create a paragraph}. I recommend a "MINIMUM 12 CHARACTER" password.
  • Avoid using regular words.
  • Make sure that your password does not contain any of your personal information{like names, date of births, places, pets' name, favorite items, etc}.
  • Mix upper case, lower case, numbers and symbols.
  • Change your passwords periodically.
  • Do not share your email id or phone number with strangers.
  • Try to avoid using password protected accounts in public internet points or in others' devices{friends' mobile, relatives' PC, etc}. Technology has grown and there are a lot of spy software.
  • In case if you entered your password in any other devices, change your password as soon as you access your own device.
  • Always be sure to log out all your accounts.
  • Try to avoid checking the tick mark in the "KEEP ME SIGNED IN" check box.
  • If available, activate the notification for unrecognized login to your accounts.
  • Clear the browsing data{particularly cookies} from your web browser after handling any accounts.
  • Do not use any common dialogues.
  • Do not write your password anywhere for remembering. Just use your memory power only.
  • Avoid using same passwords for all accounts. This is because if one of your account is hacked, then others also can be hacked.
  • Even if it is your life partner, I recommend not to share your passwords with her/him[your choice]. Because, tomorrow will not be the same as today or yesterday.

The above are only basic tips from me. You must always be alert while handling passwords.


That's all! Be safe!


Thanking You!
