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”. In the given password you can find both capital
and small letters used and the password strength is 7 letters were as most of
the text only passwords require only 6 letters.
- Password
with Alphabets and Numbers
You may opt to provide passwords with a
mixture of alphabets and numbers. In those places you can create a password
using simple proverbs and quotes.
“Work hard for win” is a simple fact that everyone
knows; here is your sample password “Wrkhrd4w1n”.
- Password
with Alphabets, Numbers & Symbols
Most of the strong passwords require Alphabets
with at least one letter in caps, at least one number and a special character.
This is the hardest thing for someone to setup the password in this pattern.
“My mother is 47” is a usual statement; here
is your sample password “MiMom1s47!”. In this password I have used two caps one
special character and three numbers. It’s simple when you know your mother’s
age put the exclamation or if you doubt about it put a question mark.
I hope
the given points would serve the basic ideas needed for setting up a strong
password. Always choose some good sentences which can motivate you or make you think
or feel positive, because you will use your password at least once in a
day. Through your complex thought process for setting up a
password and enjoy this as like playing a game.
