  • Today, with the number of accounts we have, from emails, websites, bank login, and log into account other important on the Internet, requires us to create a password that is strong enough, to guarantee more security. Moreover, if the account involves some very important information, it must pay more attention to this password problem.
    There are various tips to create strong passwords that include software to make it even more scattered around the internet. But if it resulted from the software, it usually will be displayed randomly. So, although strong, but difficult to remember. How to create a Strong Password tips?
    There are three important components to a text password that is made is a Strong Password, which is long, a combination of letters and is not a word or a general term.
    Create a Password that long. Each letter is added to our password, it will add security and strength of their password. The recommended minimum password length 8 characters (though there are at least 7 letters), and ideally 14 or more letters. As an example of a long password with a random 15 letter alphabet can be 33 000 times more powerful than the length of the password with eight random letters from the letters on the keyboard.
    Combine letters of the alphabet, numbers and symbols. The greater the combination when these components, then the password strength increases. If you can not use symbols, then the alternative with the added length of the password. Although ideally a strong password is a combination of the above three components.
    Alphabet (letters) are the characters a, b, c ... z and A, B, C ... Z, numbers are numbers 0,1,2,3 .. 9 and symbol is the letter of the alphabet and numbers apart, such as # $% ^ &*(&:"./{}.
    Avoid passwords that are words / general terms. Such as birth date us, our name, year of birth and so forth. Because the password is usually easy to know other people. It also includes words that are often spoken, popular words and the like. Usually the password cracker programs already have a database or set up these words.
    But in addition to the three components above, there's another one that is also important to note, that the password is easy to remember, because although strong, but difficult to remember would be the same, sometimes even cumbersome and confusing.

    * Avoid changing the password that only the letters that resemble numbers only. For example have the name of agus, and create a password "46u5" then this will be more predictable. "Password" changed to "P4ssw0rd". We recommend that you use a combination of extra length and other components
