Passwords !!!!!!!!!!!!! they are the weapons to our enemies these days , but if you are secure with your's , you don't need to cry like a widow and worry like a patient all the time about a fact that Hacker's would hack your account and know every thing about YOU !!! Being in your limits would never make you an enemy to anyone (hacker's), but in case if you mess up with a hacker , be prepare that you will be chased by that hacker all your life. So if you are in that case ... i'm writing this to secure your system-stored or mobile-stored data . It's because of the known fact that the password is the only option left to escape since no one target's you unless you cross your limits on other's, so the main rule to be secured is knowing your limits and being in them .
1. Make your password long............
The recommended minimum is 8 characters, but 14 is better and 25 is even
better than that.
Some services have character limits on passwords, though.
2. Go for combinations of letters and numbers Use combinations of letters and numbers, upper
and lower case and symbols such as the exclamation mark.
Some services won't let you do all of that, but try to vary it as much as you can.
"PaSsWoRd!43" is far better than "password43."
3. Avoid dictionary words Avoid words that are in dictionaries, even if you add numbers and symbols. There are programs that can crack passwords by going through data basesof known words. One trick is to add numbers in the middle of a word — as in "pas123swor456d " instead of "password123456 ."
Another is to think of a sentence and use just the first letter of each word — as in "tqbfjotld" for "the
quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
4. Play with characters..............
Substitute characters. For instance, use the number zero instead of the letter O, or replace the S with a
dollar sign.
5. No easy-to-guess words...........
Avoid easy-to-guess words, even if they aren't in the dictionary. You shouldn't use
your name,company name or hometown, for instance. Avoid pets and relatives' names, too.
Likewise, avoid things that can be looked up, such as your birthday or ZIP code. But
you might use that as part of a complex password.
Try reversing your ZIP code or phone number and insert that into a string of letters.
As a reminder, you should also avoid "password" as the password, or consecutive keys on the
keyboard.
6. Don't use same passwords........
Never reuse passwords on other accounts — with two exceptions. Over the years,
I've managed to create hundreds of accounts. Many are for one- time use, such as when a
newspaper website requires me to register to read the full story.
7. Code works..........................
Some services such as Gmail even give you the option of using two passwords when you use a
particular computer or device for the first time.
If you have that feature turned on, the service will send a text message with a six- digit code to your
phone when you try to use Gmail from an unrecognized device. You'll need to enter that for
access, and then the code expires.
It's optional, and it's a pain — but it could save you from grief later on.
HACKER'S won't be able to access the account without possessing your phone. Turn it on by going to
the account's security settings.
This is just written for the acknowledgement of the readers but not to hurt anyone ..........
