[size=17pt]12 Things You Never Knew About Setting Up A Strong Password[/size]

Here are 12 Don't that will help you build a much more secure, stronger and reliable password.



1. Do not write down your password, memorize it. In particular, don’t write it down and leave it anywhere.

2. Do not place passwords in an unencrypted file or note!

3. Do not give or share your password, in particular to someone claiming to be from computer support or a vendor unless you are sure they are who they say they are.

4. Do not let anyone watch or spy you while you enter your password.

5. Do not enter your password on a computer you don’t trust.

6. Do not over use a particular password over a long period of time, use the password for a limited time and ensure to change it periodically.

7. Do not use related passwords for systems controlled by different organizations such as your facebook, twitter and instagram to share similar passwords.

8. Do not save password in an unprotected directory, email, drive or file. None of those storage means are bigger and more secured than the head.



9. Do not use words that are in a dictionary, names, animals, friends or any personal information (for example, your birthday, favourite stuffs or phone number). Some people derives their passwords from phone numbers, birthdays and so on making it very easy to guess. Look at point two (10 & 11) on how a typical password should be.

10. Do not use simple patterns, learn to always avoid simple patterns. Instead, use a password that consist of UPPER and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. eg "%ZyX10@ly". People will really find this hard to guess, so follow this method. Just be a little more creative with this, See example, coined this one from my name "fR@^K\iN".

11. Do not use short and simple passwords, make certain that your password is at least eight characters long, if possible add more! Some logins requires you to enter a password about 8 characters long which is very acceptable, the longer the better. It becomes very difficult to guess passwords that are as long as a sentence. Eg, "iLove2Eat@lwa¥$". An 8-character password may be fine for a few days of protection, but a 12-character password is generally thought to be long enough to provide protection for a maximum of 90 days. A 15-character password is often considered good protection for up to a year.

12. Do not use new password that is similar to old, when you have chosen a new password, you have to make certain that it is not related to your old/previous passwords.
