In a world where almost everything and every aspect of our lives have gone online, there is a daring need to ensure that our personal information and data are kept safe and not accessible to prying eyes. This calls for the use of a secured password for every account one is associated with.
Gone are those days when simple figure combinations such as 123456 make secure password, even our names or Date of Birth which a lot of people still use aren’t safe anymore. We use passwords for banking, social interactions, mobiles, etc. and a compromise can be a great disaster. Creating a strong password can sometimes become a headache especially for so many people, especially those used to having the same password for various accounts but you really do not have a choice than to ensure your info is safe else…..you’re vulnerable to hackers
Now the big question is ‘What makes up a Strong/secure password?’ First a password should be long enough such that it will be difficult to crack and always ensure that they are changed regularly as this makes it more secure. Secure passwords should have at least 8 characters, mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers, symbols.
