How to form a very strong but easy to remember password

One of the ways to secure our data on online platforms and to secure data on our personal computer is through the use of passwords. Passwords are combination of letters, numbers, symbols etc. to create a secure login in order to protect our data and valuable information from unauthorized use.

There is a need to use very strong password as weak passwords can be easily deciphered by hackers and people with bad intent.

Often times people use strong passwords but only to forget them a few weeks or months. About 70% of participants in a survey we conducted claimed they use online platform 'Forgot Password' link if they fail to use the platform regularly within a period of three months or more. Also, among those surveyed, about 50% use password combinations that include their names or other Personal Identifiable Information (PII). As stated earlier such password combinations are easy targets of hackers.

Below are what will make a password strong:
Ø Use alphanumeric combination
Ø Use capitalization
Ø Use symbols
Ø Use a memorable event to form a easy to remember password by using the first letter of every word and transforming others into symbols.

The following event are used to form a very strong but easy to remember passwords:
(a) My daughter hates eating with left hand
Password: Md8ewl&
(b) I and my Dad went for summer vacation in 2018
password: I&mDw4svi18
(c) Jane is ten years older than Bill
password: Ji10yotB!ll
(d) I turned twenty-eight last year
password: It28l@sty

Finally, it is not enough to have a very strong password but such password should be regularly maintained if you want to totally keep your data secured. A very strong password which is written down somewhere can be easily seen and used by people with bad intent. Hence the followings are rules to follow in order to effectively maintain a very strong password:
Ø Do not share your password with anyone
Ø Change your password periodically say monthly, every three months or yearly
Ø Do not write down your password
Ø Do not use one single password for multiple platform or logins

The above are proven ways you can form and maintain a very strong but easy to remember passwords.

What to Consider Before Buying a Computer

Computers are indispensable in this modern world. Gone are the days when computers are only used for computations in banks. Today there are wider use for computers such as education, entertainment, Internet, and for work.
Because you can hardly get a single computer that meet all needs perfectly due to compensation bordering around size, cost, and speed, you need to look out for the one that will best meet your needs when shopping for a new computer.
Below are what you can put in mind when next you go out to shop for a new Computer:

Processor: Should you go for Intel PC or AMD PC? We have had to explain to many customers on the comparative advantage of one over the other. Intel and AMD are the two major manufacturers of computer processors. Processor is the brain of the computer responsible for controlling everything like computations, processing of information and so on that happens in the computer system. The core i-series of Intel are the latest and they perform well under multitasking conditions, there are AMD variants also like the AMD Ryzens. But the Intel core i-series are stronger and perform better

Battery Life: If you intend to buy a laptop computer for education, you need to consider buying one that can stay on battery power for a very long time as you may have to use the computer outdoor more often or in classrooms with limited charging space. You should therefore go for one that can last you between 7 - 11 hours on battery power. Also if you work remotely or outdoors more often then you also need a laptop computer that last longer on battery power.

Processor Speed: After you have chosen the processor type, you need to consider one that have faster processing speed of between 2GHz - 3.5GHz if you work more on the internet or you use apps that handles much computations at work. Kindly note that higher processing speed alone does not guarantee an app won't hang or get over tasked, but selecting the right processor like for example the Intel corei5, i7 or i9 PCs coupled with a moderate speed of 2.5GHz will allow you to multitask at great speed.

Screen Size: For organizations that work more on excel sheets or view table entries from web apps, and people who want to use their PC more for watching movies should should go for screen sizes like 15.6 inches or 17 inches for notebook computer or 21 inches or more for Desktop PCs. Wider screen will allow you to have an expanded and clearer view.

Storage: computers used for education and entertainment like movies need large storage space. You may want to keep movie collections or books from your year one through your professional career on your PC. While storage space can be upgraded, you should consider having from 500GB -2TB of storage space. Also as we now have two storage types, Hard Disk Drive (HDD) and Solid State Drive (SSD). SSD are lightweight and last longer than HDD but SSDs are more expensive than HDDs

Graphics: If you work more on Graphics say a graphics artist or Achitecturer, or you use your PC more for gaming activities, consider going for a computer that has beautiful graphics. The two top player in the graphics card business are NVidia and Intel HD Graphics, but the Nvidia GeForce graphics card mostly used in AMD based PCs is more robust and have more beautiful graphics than Intel HD graphics card

Weight: consider going for a light weight designed PC if you move around mostly with your notebook especially students and those who work remotely. Carrying a heavy and bulky notebook is going to hurt your back and shoulders.

Cost: Maybe your only priority is cost or you only want to go for lower priced computers then go for PCs that ships with AMD processors as PCs with Intel processors are strong, powerful but more expensive than AMD based PCs.

We hope with these you will be able to have a good shopping experience and buy a computer that best meet your requirements.
