STRONG PASSWORD GUIDELINES<\/strong>: This guide explains the two basic password rules for creating strong passwords containing unique and secure passphrase protection.<\/p>\n

Ideally, your password strength should have enough complexity to be safe against hackers.<\/p>\n

But secure passwords should not contain such an excessive number of characters that it becomes difficult for you to remember them.<\/p>\n

Experts call it ‘password dilemma’ or what we call ‘password length vs. complexity<\/strong>‘. You might call it a tradeoff between a weak secret word for simplicity and an ultra-complex watchword in the interest of security.<\/p>\n

Two Basic Rules for a Strong Password<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Strong Passwords Length<\/strong>: A strong password should contain a minimum of eight (8) characters. You can increase your password protection by adding an extra character or two. But, not all computer software permits you to do so.<\/li>\n
  2. Strong Passwords Complexity<\/strong>: Safe passwords should have a combination of numbers, symbols (special characters), lowercase letters, and uppercase alphabetic characters. Strong password examples must always contain several special characters (e.g. “@,!,&,$), at least one capital letter (uppercase), and a number.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Treat Passwords like your Toothbrush<\/h4>\n

    Having finished creating secure passwords, no matter whether they were created manually by yourself or made using an automated online strong password generator, the job is not finished.<\/p>\n

    One very important point of all these strong passwords tips is how you treat them afterwards. You should treat passwords like toothbrushes – Keep them private and change them every six months<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
