How To Choose A Strong Password [skylighttech.com] by skylighttech: 8:17am On Sep 18, 2013 |
Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute-force attacks. In its usual form, it estimates how many trials an attacker who does not have direct access to the password would need, on average, to guess it correctly. The strength of a password is a function of length, complexity, and unpredictability. Using strong passwords lowers overall risk of a security breach, but strong passwords do not replace the need for other effective security controls. To choose strong passwords follow the following steps: Step #1: Make it Lengthy Make sure your password has eight or more characters since this is usually the minimum for most password requirements. The longer the password the better. Example: mystrongpasswordissecure Step #2: Add numbers to your words Example: strongpassword2291 Step #3: Use special characters Example: password$$200 Step #4: Use upper and lowercase letters Example: PassWord$$200 Step #5: Generate similar but altered passwords. Use the same or similar base-words to help you remember your passwords easily without making them "too" easy to crack Example: PassWord$$200 can become *200WordStrongPass$$ |
