Security threats in cyberspace is no longer a novelty. Many of us use the email account password or other social media from a variety of things that is easy to remember.In fact, often use the same password for multiple accounts on the internet. If yes, you should be careful, as you may become the target of hackers.
To
maintain information security and identity in cyberspace, here are some
ways to make passwords secure and away from the reach of cyber
criminals, as reported from Newsok, Saturday (03/02/2013):
1. Create a long passwordGenerally
some websites recommend minimum password of eight characters, but if
possible should the password consists of 14 to 25 characters.
2.Combination of letters and numbersThe combination of numbers and letters in the password is one of the best ways. The combination could also be circumvented by using uppercase and lowercase letters with various symbols such as marking ser. For example, "Password! 43" is safer than "password43".
3. Avoid using common wordsAlthough
it uses a combination of symbols or numbers in a password, but some
programs can be hacked passwords through a database of common words that
are already saved.
For strategy, you can insert numbers between the letters. Like for example, "pas123swor456d". Or the other way is by making an abbreviation of a phrase such as, "kybkls" stands for "cat named kitty funny".
4. Replacing letters with numbers or vice versaSuppose that instead of using the number 0 letter O, or replace the letter S with dollar currency symbol.
5. Avoid words that are easy to guessDo
not use a password with the name or number of personal nature, such as a
spouse or child's name, place of birth, and anniversary dates.
Instead, words or numbers mudha guess it can be replaced with the number zip code or other information tidka predictable.
6. Use different passwords for all accountsThis
is to avoid people who can easily access user accounts, especially if
they know that the same password is also used for various other
accounts.
If you are afraid to forget, it could have a reverse passwords between accounts with other accounts. For example, the A account, password "paSswoRd123" then to another account changed to "12paSswRd3".
