subject: Techniques For Creating a Strong Password [print this page] An ideal password is hard to guess, however, it is simple to remember. Here are some easy methods in making Security-Systems-For-Home strong, safe, but helpful passwords.
Begin your password with a Name or a Phrase - A series of fifteen characters creates an extremely strong password. But long passwords are hard to remember. Luckily you may use a phrase in order to create a strong but unforgettable one. You may try to take any line from your preferred movie or book compress it and turn it into a memorable like TimeIsGold. You may take the name of your preferred cartoon character or Celebrity idol and compress it like: MichaelJackson.
Mix with Symbols - beginning with the phrase and memorable character's name, it is then a good way for starting a password. To have it more secured, mix some numbers and symbols that vary from the cases of the letters from your passwords. By utilizing this method, the TimeIsGold will become Tim3I$Gold. It can be very hard to guess, but you can remember it easily. The same with the character names, your MichaelJackson will become Micha3lJack$on.
Guard the password - if you have done creating your strong and secured passwords, then you have to follow these techniques of guarding:
Do not write- the password is the main key to your internet world, so remember not to write it on stick note and place it anywhere.
Do not use any personal information - do not use passwords like your birthday, anniversary or home address. It is a fact that it can be easily remembered but it is also easily guessed by others.
Change it more often - system passwords must be change every quarter and individual passwords must be changed every month.
Having a strong password policy is inconvenient but it will help you keep your overall Security-Systems-For-Home plans intact.
