Make your passwords easy enough for you to remember, but very difficult
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
for others (including computer programs) to guess.

Choosing a good password will help to keep your computer safe. If your
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
password is easy to guess, someone may figure it out and gain access to your
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
personal information.
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
People could even use computers to systematically try to guess your
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
password, so even one that would be difficult for a human to guess might be
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
extremely easy for a computer program to crack. Here are some tips for
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
choosing a good password:

|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
Use a mixture of upper-case and lower-case letters, numbers, symbols
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
and spaces in the password. This makes it more difficult to guess; there
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
are more symbols from which to choose, meaning more possible passwords
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
that someone would have to check when trying to guess yours.
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
<note>
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
A good method for choosing a password is to take the first letter of
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
each word in a phrase that you can remember. The phrase could be the
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
name of a movie, a book, a song or an album. For example, “Flatland: A
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
Romance of Many Dimensions” would become F:ARoMD or faromd or f:
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
aromd.

Make your password as long as possible. The more characters it
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
contains, the longer it should take for a person or computer to guess
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
it.

Do not use any words that appear in a standard dictionary in any
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
language. Password crackers will try these first. The most common
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
password is “password” — people can guess passwords like this very
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
quickly!

Do not use any personal information such as a date, license plate
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
number, or any family member’s name.

Do not use any nouns.

Choose a password that can be typed quickly, to decrease the chances
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
of someone being able to make out what you have typed if they happen to
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
be watching you.

<note style="tip">
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
Never write your passwords down anywhere. They can be easily
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
found!

Use different passwords for different things.

Use different passwords for different accounts.
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
If you use the same password for all of your accounts, anyone who
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
guesses it will be able to access all of your accounts immediately.
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
It can be difficult to remember lots of passwords, however. Though not
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
as secure as using a different passwords for everything, it may be easier
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
to use the same one for things that do not matter (like websites), and
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
different ones for important things (like your online banking account and
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
your email).
