Want a really strong password ?
The easy way to remember a gibberish password
I work in I.T. and security is one thing I am passionate about.
Most people don't realize that a strong password one of your best defenses against hackers.
So what is a strong password ?
Well yamtssfa would be a strong password - its not in the English dictionary.
Well yamtssfa would be a strong password - its not in the English dictionary.
But how do I remember that ? I hear you say.
Easy
We are all familiar with the beatles song "Yesterday" -
Yesterday All My Troubles Seemed So Far Away .
Take the first letter of each word and you get yamtssfa
Yesterday All My Troubles Seemed So Far Away .
Take the first letter of each word and you get yamtssfa
Easy to remember now, isn't it ?
I am not suggesting that you use this as a password
Rather - think of your own favourite song and take the first letter of the words in the verse or chorus to form a password.
Only you know your favorite song, right ?
Even better - sandwich it between your full birth date
like this - 0507yamtssfa1982 for example.
Better still - how about 0507YAMtssfa1982
Better still - how about 0507YAMtssfa1982
Now you have a 16 digit password
it combines upper case, lower case,and numbers
But the best bit is that your "word" ( if you can call it that ) is not in the English dictionary.
Hackers use something called " brute force " which checks against every word in the English dictionary.
If it isn't there, they are really stuck and would almost certainly give up.
Plus the fact that you have a 16 character password - the permutations are astronomical in number.
This was written to help you develop a method of remembering a "gibberish" password.
I sincerely hope it helps you produce a strong hacker proof password.
