How To Secure Your Password

In the whole internet as well as intranet world, whether it is Google or a social networking site like Facebook  we depends solely on our password for security purposes. But what will happen if your password is not safe itself? What will happen if your password get hacked? Hacking of password of a social networking site is equivalent to losing our image because hacker can do whatever they want once they get your password. So, here I am sharing some useful tips with you which makes your password a secure and uncrackable one. Here we go,



1. Most Essential feature:
The most essential feature of your password is that it can be easily remember able by you but not by others. It helps you as someone else find hard to guess your pass. But do remember, change your password as soon as possible if you have any doubt regard that anyone else have information of it. 


2. As Good As Big: 
Most of the website provide a minimum character limit for password but don’t restrict for maximum number of characters. So, you can set your password as long as you want. You can even choose a sentence as your password, whether it have any meaning or not. The only thing is that you can remember your password. 



3. No Need to Spell Correct:
Correct spelling is not necessary in your password. Even an incorrect spelling will prove more helpful to secure your password. For example, if you include ‘passward’ instead of ‘password’ it will be more helpful to you, similarly you may inclue ‘kapital’ instead of ‘capital’ in your password or any other combination which you can remember easily. You may also include name of a childhood friend or pre-primary teacher’s name in your password which you can remember easily but others cant.


4. No Need To Answer Correct:
While setting a password, we have to answer a number of questions to recover password in case we forget it. Answering these questions correctly is helpful for us but for others too who have some information about you. So, you should not provide correct information rather provide some fake information and remember it. 



5. One Password is not safe:
Maximum people avoid to maintain more than one password but are dangerous to you. Yes, you can use this trick for an ordinary account but not for your online banking account. It’s because if a person gets knowledge of one of your accounts password, he will definitely try it for your other accounts too. So, if you want to keep your account safe, you must maintain different password for different accounts. You can make some relation between passwords but it can’t be easily guessed by someone else. 


6. Include digits with characters: 
You should always include some digits with your password. There are various hacking software available on internet which makes creates combination of character automatically (As you saw in Indian Movie: Race 2). So, include digits with your password. They provide a great assistance for securing your password. 


7. Change your Password Regularly: 
 Even if you are following all methods of security for your password, don’t rely on it for a long time. It’s recommended to change password in every month. You must choose a password which you can remember in your mind, if you can’t it’s not safe in itself.
