How to Create Strong Password

 

Creating strong passwords is essential for online security. Here are some key principles for creating strong and secure passwords being the cybersecurity Guide.

1. Length:

• The longer the password, the harder it is to crack. Aim for at least 12-16 characters.

2. Complexity:

• Use a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters (e.g., !, @, #, $, %, &, *).

3. Avoid Common Words:

• Avoid using easily guessable words like your name, "password," or simple sequences (e.g., "123456" or "qwerty").
• Don't use information that can be easily found about you (birthday, address, family names).

4. Use Randomness:

• Combine random words and characters that don’t form a predictable pattern.
• Example: M9#qR2x!fB1z

5. Use a Passphrase:

• A passphrase is a sequence of random words that is easy to remember but hard to guess. You can add numbers and symbols to enhance it.
• Example: PurpleHorse$35Jumps!

6. Avoid Reusing Passwords:

• Never use the same password across multiple sites. If one site is compromised, all of your accounts are at risk.

7. Consider Using a Password Manager:

• Password managers can generate and store long, random passwords for you. This way, you only need to remember one strong password to access your manager.

8. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):

• Whenever possible, enable 2FA for an added layer of security. Even if someone gets your password, they would need the second factor to access your account.

Example of Strong Password:

• Rj8$uZ#i9Q!tE3lP
