Tips for making super strong password
❓ 1. Don't use the same password. Always pick a new one for every account that you are creating. Even well-trusted websites like Facebook have a history of security breaches so your username and password can be used for hacking other of your profiles.
❓ 2. Avoid using dictionary words, postcodes, birthday dates, card numbers, or names in your password. Random letters and symbols are the way to go e.g. Xj2+w*9ô;Po
❓ 3. Don't share your passwords via the email address or text apps. Always keep it for yourself.
❓ 4. Paypal or Google informs their users about unusual log-in activity in their accounts. Don’t ignore these messages and change your password if there is a reason.
❓ 5. Use passwords with at least 16 characters. More digits will increase its strength.
❓ 6. Web browsers or some web apps ask you to remember your password. Avoid this option and prevent these tools from storing your log-in details.
❓ 7. Do not log in when you are connected to public Wifi, free VPN, or proxy.
❓ 8. Be aware of unencrypted websites with HTTP protocol, you should prefer connections as https, ftps, smtps, sftp.
❓ 9. Lock your smartphone devices and computers. If possible then use two step authentication.
❓ 10. Use password generators that will help you auto generate the best possible password which will be strong and secure.
❓ 11. Firewall, antivirus, or anti-malware software can block malicious software that can try to steal your access details. Update the operating systems (e.g. Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android) on the regular basis.
