Password is a peculiar combination of letters, numbers and symbols that protects e-mail, accounts in social networks and on websites, in personal accounts. You can avoid profile hacking and identity theft by creating a strong password for your account.
Ways to create a password
A password is required for a PC user in many cases - when using e-mail, to enter sites, social networks, where you need to create your own personal account. And the more complex the invented cipher is, the more reliable your data will be protected.
You can create a password manually or using special programs. For example, it is convenient to use the Keepass program for this purpose. This manager will help you not only create a complex and reliable cipher, but also save all the passwords you use.
Most often, users use passwords that they come up with on their own. This method is called conventional. In this case, as a secret code, you can make up all kinds of words, diversifying them with numbers and special characters.
How to create a password
If you decide to use the Keepass app, then you do not need to worry about the strength of the password it created. The alphanumeric code in this program is generated automatically, which means that it will be very difficult to pick it up using the methods and methods familiar to scammers.
However, you can also create a strong password manually. For example, type the first available combination of at least six characters on the keyboard. In order not to forget such a password, first save it in any text document. Then, when you request an account when logging into your account, personal account, on the site, you just need to copy the code and paste it into the appropriate field.
Another tip for creating a password. Write any word in English, then start modifying it in every possible way. For example, take the word "elephant", in English it will look like this: elephant. Add two to three or more numbers anywhere in the base word. Alternate them with the letters of the word, add symbols. Be sure to use at least one capital letter in your password. It can be located at the beginning, in the middle, at the end of the password. As a result, the password may look like this: e6lEph2a7nt
Any word can be used as a base word, and in this case it can be written with errors and typos. So all from the same elephant try to create eleRhant, elefant, etc.
For those who do not really rely on their own memory, we can advise you to use this option: take any long word in Russian and write it using the English layout. So from the Russian word "orange" you get fgtkmcby, which is also quite convenient.
Interesting tips - to create your own code table - are offered by users of a number of sites devoted to computers and personal data security. To do this, you need to write a long keyword in the horizontal and vertical lines of the table, and place the letters of the English alphabet, letters and numbers in the empty cells in any order. Using such a table is quite simple: choose any word and look for the intersection of horizontal and vertical cells. The main thing is then not to forget the word that served as the "primary source" for the password. In the code table, you can write not only words, but entire phrases.
Tips for a note
