Seeing many cases where my friend's passwords were compromised i have written this article! Password is the only thing which keeps your data secure in this virtual digital world. So it is necessary to choose a smart password which is hard to guess and hard to crack. We should always take care while choosing passwords and select the one which is private and hard to crack.
Before writing some tips to create a strong password, i want to give an advice to all readers not to use same password on every website. I saw many people who use same password on all other websites. You're likely to have dozens of accounts across the web, and you can't guarantee the security of all of those accounts. Many smaller companies don't have security technology capable of guarding your data from cyber criminals. This allows hackers to access your important accounts if they manage to steal your password from a less secure website. So you should keep your banking and email passwords different from the common password which you use on all other websites.
You must follow these simple tips. These will help you to choose a strong password.
Use a unique password for all your important accounts
Use a password with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols
Create a password that is hard for others to guess
Make sure your password recovery options are up-to-date and secure
Keep your passwords in a secret place that is not easily visible
Only having a smart and hard to crack password is not enough. You must have some recovery options to recover your account in case of hacked. The best recovery option is phone call or sms recovery. You must enable all security options as much website offers. On Gmail and Facebook, you can also use 2-step verification to make your account more secure.
