Password
is used by every computer and Internet user for protecting their
valuable data and information from unauthorized access. Everyone
tried to create strong password which is hard to crack with software
to by human. Even though we create strong password but still a
password cracker program easily crack our password, isn't it ? So
what is the meaning of strong password and how we can create a approx
unbreakable password ? In this post I will focus on these two points.
What is a strong
password: As per Microsoft
recommendation for windows password, a strong password must have
following characteristics:
- The length of password must be at least eight characters.
- A complete word should not present in the password.
- It should not contain any name related to you. (like your username, real name or company name)
- If you are changing your password then it must be totally different from previous password .
- A strong password must contain uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers and special symbols.
Any
password which is following these five rules will be a strong
password and this type of passwords are very difficult to be broken.
A password which contains uppercase, lowercase, numbers and special
symbols can be a weak password like sampatrik2U! because it contain
username and a complete word. You can correct it by writing it in
this way $amp@trik2 U!. Including space in password and replace some
letters with special symbols is make it very strong.
Always
create a password which very easy to remember for you because losing
password means losing access of your computer. So you can pick a
phrase that is meaningful for your password like my
brother arun's birthday is 11 may 1987.
Using this phrase you can create your password Mbabi11/may 87 or you
can make it more strong by replacing some letters with special
symbols like Mb@b!11 05 87.
I hope
this post will guide you to create very strong password which are
very easy to remember. But always remember that never create a
password which you can't remember. But in case you forget your
password then use advanced third party password recovery software to
recover it.
