How to choose a secure password?

The time has come when every average Internet user has more than two accounts at different web addresses that require opening their own profile.

It is necessary to assign a password to each open profile, and this is where the problems arise, which is why I am writing this article.

The problem is that passwords, and especially those with important data such as emails, internet banking passwords, Facebook profiles, etc., must be complex, ie they must contain uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and various characters, and at the same time must be easy to remember. It is important to use different passwords for different internet services.

How to remember complicated passwords?

A good password can be made if you take a sentence of a few words that you will easily remember, e.g. white red color.

To make this password even stronger, we will insert spaces between words, a few capital letters, and a couple of numbers. So our example would look like this: White Red 196. This password now contains 3 words, 2 spaces, 3 uppercase letters, and 3 different numbers.

If you want to make the password even stronger, add a symbol, e.g. asterisk, plus, parentheses, etc. Here is our example: White Red * 196 *

The password strength tool says: "It would take a desktop PC about 322 septillion years to crack your password"

What if I forget my password?

All services that require accounts offer the possibility of resetting for all those who forget the password. In this case, a new password is sent to the e-mail that was confirmed when opening the profile. This is why the password of the e-mail must be especially secure because if a hacker breaks the e-mail protection, he simply sends requests to various Internet services to send new passwords and then reads them and abuses them.

I advise you not to use programs that store various passwords.
