My previous blog cited about various unhealthy methods used in setting up a password. Here I would like to explain how to set up a strong and secure password which will not require great intellectual skills.      Instead of giving a passage, I thought of explaining this through some examples. The Setup your passwords as a phrase instead of single meaningful word. It is advisable and secure to use the textese (Known as SMS language) instead of words.   Password with words I would suggest you to take a small quote or statement instead of words predictable by others. “I love India” is a statement this can be used as “IlveInd”.

This digital world made every human to depend on electronic gadgets. Laptops and tablets become part of human life were mobile become an organ. We started putting all the personal and official materials also in binaries. Even though the digital methods are simple and user friendly, we encounter serious problem with data theft.    Passwords are invented to secure our information, but it had been hacked from Alibhaba period. Every service provider of internet services and mobile applications trying something new to make our access secure, but we won’t adopt it until some incident took place.    We have no evidence about the origin of passwords, but we came to know that passwords were used in different forms even in ancient days.
