well usually we enter our phone number as password or a simple number such as 1234 or 0000
Sometime we just enter the name's of our loved one such as names of girlfriends or boyfriends,wife or best friends names
These type of password can be easily guessed by the people u stay around and can be easily hacked.
If u are goin with the same condition then u are really taking a risk.
and if ur doing online transaction then u must really read this
Well Don't worry
So in this post i will give u tips how to create a good password.
Read this step carefully :
A strong password is an important protection to help you have safer online transactions.
Some or all might help protect your online transactions:
Length- Make your passwords long with eight or more characters
(this is minimum if u have a nice memory then increase it the bigger the better)
Complexity - Include letters, punctuation, symbols, and numbers.
Use the entire keyboard, not just the letters and characters you use or see most often. The greater the variety of characters in your password, the better.
However, password hacking software automatically checks for common letter-to-symbol conversions,
For eg - If ur using the symbol "&" for " and " in password change it from "&" to "and" or from "2" to "to."
Variation -To keep strong passwords effective, change them often. Set an automatic reminder for yourself to change your passwords on your email, banking, and credit card websites nearly about every three months.
Variety - Don't use the same password for everything.
Cyber criminals steal passwords on websites that have very little security, and then they use that same password and user name in more secure environments, such as banking websites.
There are many ways to create a long, complex password. Here are some suggestions that might help you remember it easily:
What to do:
Start with a sentence or two.
Example:
