It is therefore important to change your password which are the same us those I am going to give and if even is similar try to change it. These password are in the table below

  • How should a good password looks like?

This is a question asked by many an did would like to tackle this question. In other to be fully protected, you must consider some factors when setting up your password in other to be fully protected.

One of these things is to use password that are random. And in this case you must do all your possible best to avoid using things that are close to you as passwords. It definitely should include latter's both upper and lower case, numbers and other special symbols should be present.

It is equally important to check the length of the password because how long it is factors when it comes to decoding the password. Adding symbols also make it exponentially difficult just as we learnt in permutations and combinations. A password ad long as 10 characters can be considered to be strong and and if you are able to combine it with numbers, latter's, and symbols then you are very good. This in to total makes it harder for them to decode.

Another crucial thing to tackle is to avoid using one particular password for different websites or account. This is a great error most people commit and once an individual gets hold of one password, he or she can try several sites to fraudulently enter your account without your permission and most importantly commit a crime.
