To create a secure password

To create a secure password

A secure password is like a randomly generated string for an attacker, but a random string is hard to remember.

Creating a random string based on a sentence that is easy for you to remember is hard to guess compared to others.

1. Choose a sentence that you can easily remember.

For example: "My son Aiden are three years old."

2. Convert this sentence into a password

Use the first letter of each word in a sentence to form a string, for example: "Msaityo".

3. Add complexity to the password

Mixed letter capitalization and numbers in your passwords can also add complexity to your password by intentionally spelling the wrong way.
For example: The above sentence can replace the word "three" with the number "3", then the password becomes "msai3yo".

4. Replace special characters

Replacing some letter-shaped symbols or numbers with some letters in a password makes the password more complex.
By this strategy the password above will become "m$8ni3y0".

5. Detect the strength of the password through password checker

Password Checker can evaluate the strength of passwords online.

6. Password protection

Carefully protect the password as confidential information, refer to the 5 tips to help keep your passwords secret.

Characteristics of secure passwords

Length
* Each character added to the password will improve the security of the password.
* More than 8 characters are the minimum of a secure password; The 14-bit character is the most ideal state.

Degree of complexity
* The more characters change in the password the more difficult it is to guess.
* The combination of length and different symbols is the ideal way to set up passwords.
* Use the entire keyboard to set the password, do not use letters or numbers alone.

Easy to remember, hard to guess
* The easiest way to memorize a password is to write it down (a good brain is not as bad as a pen).
* Write down the password is OK, but must ensure its security.

Password Setup Issues

To avoid password security is too low, you should pay attention to the following points:

* Avoid consecutive or repeated characters
"12345678", "222222", "ABCDEFG" or adjacent characters on the keyboard.

* Avoid replacing numbers or symbols that appear to be "shaped"
For example, replace "I" in "m1cr0$0ft" with "1" or replace "a" in "P@ssw0rd" with "@".
This substitution is more effective in conjunction with other methods, such as length, incorrect spelling, and so on.

* Avoid using login name
Do not use personal names, birthdays, social Security numbers, or similar love information.
This type of information is the first thing an attacker can test, and it is easily accessible from the Web, online resumes, or other shared resources.

* Avoid using dictionaries of any language
Attackers can quickly guess passwords using cracked tools that contain many types of dictionary libraries, including spelling, common spelling mistakes, profanity, and some alternative methods.

* Avoid all accounts using the same password
If the password is used on a single computer or on an online system, you need to consider whether other information protected by the password is also implicated.
The use of different passwords in different systems is critical.

* Attention to password recovery questions
Many web sites offer a "password" service that allows you to set up secret questions and get a password by answering a secret question when you forget your password.
These secret questions are usually given randomly, but the answers are often available online, so be cautious when choosing a secret question.

* Avoid using online storage
If an attacker finds that your password is stored on an online or networked computer, they will get all of your information quickly.
