How
to choose the best password
Use a password generator app or
software
Passwords
generating apps or software are especially designed to create highly secure
passwords that are difficult to crack or guess. Users are given the option to
select from the criteria they want and the passwords are generated
automatically. The number of options you choose from the criteria can be
increased for tougher security of passwords.
Use passphrases and convert them to
passwords
Users
can even consider generating their passwords from a sentence or pass phrase.
For example, one can select a book, a page number and a sentence of up to 8
words or more. The best part about pass phrases is that they are easy to
remember and only unique to the individuals that select them.
Use non-English passwords where
possible
Translate
the least expected language for example Sanskrit, into English and use them as
passwords. The chances of hackers predicting your password is minimized.
Never use the same passwords for all
accounts
It
can get annoying to keep a track of different passwords for different accounts
but it is most advisable to do so. The reason is fairly simple; if the hacker
is able to figure out the password for one account, he/she will be able to
access all the other accounts, as well.
