Security is one of the most important aspects of the Internet. In most cases, it is only provided with password protection. E-mail, accounts on various sites, personal pages on social networks and blogs - all this must be protected from other people's penetration. That is why you should be serious about choosing a password for your account.
Instructions
Step 1
The password should be easy to remember for the user and at the same time resistant to hacking. To create a strong password, it is recommended to use not only lowercase letters, but also uppercase letters, as well as numbers and special characters. But this will not alone increase the burglary resistance of the password - its length is no less important, the longer it is, the higher the reliability.
Step 2
Do not use too simple and obvious passwords to increase memorability. This includes name, surname, date of birth, place of residence, phone number and other data that an attacker can easily find out.
Step 3
One of the methods to increase memorability is to use a passphrase. The essence of this method is as follows. Come up with a phrase in Russian, and then write down a certain number of the first letters of each word of the phrase in the English keyboard layout. The resulting set of characters will be the password. Complicate the algorithm with your own rules if you wish. Do not tell anyone and do not write down the invented phrase anywhere, you need to remember it.
Step 4
Another method for guessing a password is using special programs. The result of their work will be a generated sequence that can be used as a password. The operation of these programs is based on either algorithms for generating random sequences, or specific methods for creating passwords, for example, using password phrases. The user can also specify the desired password length and the set of characters used (lower case, upper case, numbers, special characters).
Step 5
Checking the strength of the received password can be carried out using special applications or websites. According to a certain set of criteria, a check is carried out and a conclusion is issued on the strength of the password, which is often determined as a percentage.
