subject: Pc Passwords: What A Robust Password Is And How To Create One [print this page] P4ssW0rd$, Passwords, how we love to loathe them. Passwords are rumored to defend us but often give us headaches.
Here at "Need Computer Help?" we have seen a rising problem where hackers have figured a way, with the help of easy software, how to get into web based e-mail account passwords and transmit out Spam on the victims behalf. If they can figure out a method to get into peoples e-mail accounts, they might be 1 step away from getting into a variety of other online accounts and produce each one unnecessary anxiety in their daily PC dependent lives.
I would like to propose that we make sure we understand what a Tough password is and how to correctly produce one for our computers, e-mail, online accounts, etc. Below are several tips to hold in mind when creating a STRONG password.
1. Pick a password at least 8 characters in length using words and numbers.
2. Use upper case and lower case letters
3. Put in a random character at the finish
At first look this might seem way too baffling so I came up with an easy method to accomplish this. Think of something that interests you, for example if you are a NASCAR fan pick the name of the car your favorite team drives, say Chevrolet.. Here is how you can change the name Ferrari into a Robust password.
Alter the first letter to a capital. Next transform any vowels to similar looking numbers in this case change the "e" to a 3. Lastly add a random character to the end of the word in this situation I chose an "!".. As a result here is how our recently altered word is turned into an easy to remember but strong password. Ferrari = F3rr4r1!
Here are couple more examples.
Let's say you love cats so therefore you might turn calico$ into C4l1c0$ and let's say you like baseball you might turn Astros into 4str0$. I would also recommend one more practice. You should routinely modify your significant passwords. I recommend at least every six months. Therefore if you like, just use with a theme. If you are the sports fan then alter Rockets to R0ck3t$ or Texans to T3x4n$. Even if you forgot your password if you recall this process you could figure out what you created.
