MAKE A WEAK PASSWORD
This happen when you don't are concious of that a person can know all your private information knowing your password.
You have to do different and complicated passwords for all your accounts and applications, trying long passwords with numbers and symbols.
If you make a weak password a person can steal all of your information and information of your family or friends too.
A weak password is short, common, a system default, or something that could be rapidly guessed by executing a brute force attack using a subset of all possible passwords, such as words in the dictionary, proper names, words based on the user name or common variations on these themes, and a strong password is: At least 12 characters long but 14 or more is better. A combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

Hi, I'm Lucy! Thanks for the advice about what to avoid as to not make a weak password! I will make sure that I put it to use. The post was informative and it had a bunch of good articles supporting all of your arguments. So, overall, I believe this post is very useful in terms of password security.
ReplyDeleteRegarding my vote, I have chosen tip number one of this post as the most useful. I believe writing information on paper is one of the best methods available. However, most people tend to overlook it since they already have their computer/phone. But I have always wondered how big of a problem it would be if something were to happen to them. That’s the main reason why I think number one deserves more recognition.
ReplyDeleteSo, like I said before, good post! And thank you for the advice! :D
