Something Simple But Important to Know

Hello everyone , Today i would like to share about something simple but important to know . What is that ? a password .  Yes ,  password is a simple thing but we know , it present a huge information security problem in our account . So thats why , i would like share how to use / make a strong password . :)

All user should use strong password so that the password cannot be broken by a password attack . Strong password have the following characteristics :

1. They should be difficult to guess
2. They should be longer rather than shorter
3. They should have uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters
4. They should not be a recognizable word
5. They should not be the name of anything familiar, such as family names or names of pets
6. They should not be a recognizable string of number , such as Social Security number or birthday

Unfortunately , strong password are irritating . They become more diffiucult to remember , causing user to write them down . So ,, what is needed for a user to create a strong password but easy to remember ? A passphrase can help , either by being a password itself or helping you to create a strong password.

A passphrase is a series of characters that is longer than a password but can be memorizied easily . Ex of passphrase include "maytheforcebewithyoualways" , "goaheadmakemyday" , livinglongandprosper , and "Bryan'sgottoknowhislimitiation". A user can turn passphrase into a strong password in this manner. Start with the last passphrase above and use the first letter of each word. You will have bgtkhl . Then capitalize every other letter , to have BgTkHl . Then add special characters and numbers , to have 9BgTkHl//* ( 9 is my birthday ) . Now you have a strong password that you can remember .

Hopefully help
