HOW TO CREATE AND MAKE A SECURE PASSWORD

I have written two or three articles concerning internet security in the past; but, my friends and relatives still asked and continue to ask me to enlighten them more on the issue of password. Yes, they are right because all our online works, investment and money are guarded with the password we use to “lock” them and keep them save, isn’t it? 

As a result of that, I am going to write today on how to create a secure password, i am going to show you how to make a secure password you can use for your online accounts. Not to waste time, let us see these points one by one.

First, don’t create your password based on

your personal details. How do I mean? Can you believe that some people use their direct names as their online password? It is very wrong to do it like that. Even if you will use your name, other special characters like {@‘”\#<} should be added to its back or front or middle to make it stronger.

Again, if you want to create a secure password, don’t use any name that is associated with your account name. What do I mean really? What I’m describing is that you must not use the name of the website that is associated with your account name. Hear this; what I’m saying is that you must not use the name of the website you used to create your password. For instance, never use “facebook” as a password if you create your account on www.facebook.com. Simple! Isn’t it clear? Okay, I think you get me better.

No matter the kind of password you will use, never use a short one. Make sure you use a long password with alphanumeric characters; for example, (rryry^^*wale….]><Jog). It will be easier for the hackers to guess your password if you use a short one especially if it is not an alphanumeric in nature.

Don’t form the habit of storing your password in your computer hard disk if you know your windows is not passworded. Don’t write your password in an open notepad or book, it is risky! Remember that, once you lose your password to the hackers, your account is gone for it! Your online banking details, your emails details, your investment, your Forex money, your sweat is gone for it if you are careless about your passwords. So, be conscious of where you store you password. For me, the best place to store your password is inside your brain!

To create a secure password, try to rephrase your security answer you created alongside your password when you were creating it. This is what I mean; try to secure your recovery answer in case of losing your password. Change the string of answer you submitted when creating your account. For example, if you are being asked where you spent your last holiday? Instead of producing a legitimate answer like Lagos, Togo, china, USA and so; you can decide to change the string like these: 7347373hhdfhdh, lagoto55757, Chinu3y373. These types of recovery answers will be very difficult to guess.

Again, don’t form the habit of using one password for all your online stuff. Don’t use one password for your yahoo, Gmail, Facebook and Twitter account. No matter what, try and change it. Even if it is one or two character different, change it. If you use the same password, then all your online accounts are gone for it if you get caught. Be wise!

In conclusion, just as I say before, the best place to save your password is your brain. No matter the kind of relationship that exists between you and other person, never disclose your login details to anyone. Keep it secured, keep it safe and have a rest of mind.
