Steemit- How Safe is Your Protected Password?

in #technology7 years ago

Any valuable or private and confidential, important items were stored in a time locked in a heavy box called the cabinet, the ark or trunk. It is also known from the old days that people can be buried under the soil.

The day has changed. Now it is not necessary to maintain confidentiality by locking the information or important documents and heavy heavy boxes. Now the desktop, laptops, tablets or smartphones are stored in many important and personal information and documents. The password is used instead of the lock.

The password is so important that all the information is kept confidential or how strong it is?

It is important to take precautions to set a password.

What is inappropriate for password protection?

Never have a password in your name:

Never use your name or any part of the password. Using the name makes it easier to guess that passwords are relatively easy.

So, it is best not to take this risk.

Risk at Date of birth:

Like your birth date is known to many people you know! Due to the mention of the certificate , finding out your birth certificate is not a difficult thing for any of your unskilled or strangers from your educational institutions, workplaces or many other places where you have to submit a certificate or birth calendar.

And so, do not put the name of the birthstone as well as the password!

Avoid using familiar words:

The familiar word is generally simple and the words that are commonly used are meant to be used. Such as: Book, Pen, Board It is foolish to take the risk of using such simple, short and commonly used words as part of passwords or passwords.

Therefore, avoiding this matter carefully, we should use words that do not have any meaning or existence. For example, such a strange combination of xyzbdpq, ghijkr, bvtyui can be used as a password.

Incorrect use of the same password multiple accounts:

It is important to set a different password for each profile . If both passwords of Facebook and e-mails are identical, then the issue is a little risky. It is necessary to use a unique password for every profile or device security.

Writing password is unsafe:

Because many of us have not remembered the password, we can write it somewhere that is a big mistake. If written, it can be seen by somebody or somebody at some point of time .

However, the question may arise that multiple profiles have different passwords; How many things will keep or not? What is the way to remember or not? In that case you can use "Lastpass" or some such apps. These types of apps are very helpful in remembering the password!

What can be done to strengthen the password-

More than twelve types of password characters:

It is safe to use bigger passwords in size . Because, these types of passwords are pretty quick to guess. Therefore, when determining passwords, it is better to have at least 12 characters or more in character number.

Number or digit can be used:

Using password numbers makes it even more powerful. So, if you put a number of passwords in the password as well as the number of passwords, the password strength will increase several times.

For example: xygh5498

Diversification in upper case or capital letter usage:

Sometimes using a capital letter when entering passwords makes it difficult to guess. So, make your password more distinct by putting two-four uppercase or capital letters on the other side of the scope of the other characters.

For example: xygh5498RCHD

The risk of using symbol will be multiplied:

All letters and numbers are used in password. Besides these, if!!?, @, #, &, * These signs can be used, but your password is beyond all limits of guesswork!

For example: xygh5498RCHD @ # &!

The same password is not used for long:

Many of us do not change the password by laziness. As a result, the same password has been used for a long time. It's unfair. Therefore, it is very important to change the password in a time-bound manner.

If you avoid using the above strategies to carefully avoid the above exclusionary items, then your password strength and security of your information will increase.

This password is very sensitive. It may be a little forgetful of the problem that many hurdles can happen.

Therefore, there should be a lot of caution in maintaining confidentiality of passwords only if you do not have to be careful about changing or changing passwords.
