Passwords are key to accessing all of your personal business information. It’s important to create not only a strong password, but also a memorable one so that hijackers can’t take sensitive data.
3 rules to creating a strong password include:
- Make your password more than 8 characters long
- Include a mix of numbers, symbols, and upper and lowercase letters
- Avoid repetition, letter or number sequences, usernames, or personal things that are easy to guess such as important dates or names.
The problem with creating a strong password can be the ability to remember it, especially when you have several passwords for several accounts. There are a few tricks you can try that will make it easier to easily remember your strong passwords for the ultimate security.
- Use a phrase for your password, but only use the first letter of each word.
- Use proper cases for words in a phrase.
- Use a phrase that includes numbers in it.
- Spell out numbers such as two for 2 and four for 4. You can also spell them as to and for.
- Include punctuation in a phrase password.
Take the following example:
The phrase would be ‘The Dodgers game starts at 3 in the afternoon!’
The password becomes TDgsa3ita!
By using this method, you don’t have to remember the entire password, just the phrase.
