Title: Choose strong password
Author: Sandro Tosi
Last modified: 2007-09-02
There are many ways and advices to choose a strong password, here are
some:
o always use at least a number;
o use at least a symbol character, as '.' or '_';
o mix lower and upper case letters;
o the longer the password the more time to break it;
o do not use simple words, as 'home' or your name, nickname;
o do not use dates related to your or your family (birth/marriage
date, etc);
o in general, do not use any personal information when selecting
password: pets names, dates, names or their combinations;
o use the strongest password you can remember;
o you can use the initial character of a song chorus/title, or from a
famous sentence, plus some numbers; (this is a little bit
controversial; some say you can use, some say not.);
o do not use common works referrable to your interests, uses or
hobbies;
o can use some "support" tools, like pwgen or apg; |
