We all are families with passwords, they are similar as the key to open the door. Secret word or string is used for authentication, to prove identity or gain access to a resource. So they should be kept safer and make it unpreditable. Here I specify steps that help you to create a strong password. Some or all might help to protect your online transactions:
- Choose a password having lenght more than eight characters.
- You should include both capital and small letters, punctuation, symbols, and numbers.
- To keep strong passwords effective, change them often.
- Don't use the same password for everything.
- Avoid common password pitfalls like including dictionary words, Words spelled backwards, common misspellings, and abbreviations, Sequences or repeated characters( Examples: 12345678, 222222, abcdefg), or adjacent letters on your keyboard, Personal information etc.
Even
you had followed steps noted above, you may have a doubt that the password that
you choose is strong or not. For this you can make use of a password checker,
that are freely avalilable in web, which evaluates your password's strength
automatically. One of the most poppular is a checker generated by microsoft.
Update: You need to choose strongest password always. Even though you can choose passwords like Grgh&gl878hHii. It is strong one. But now we have an option of onetime password. Some examples of one time random password is Google verification2, yahoo verification, outlook onetime password etc. In all this case you combines both password and verification sms code. In a typical user section, user enters username and password at login box. Once user submits authentication information, it will send a sms. This sms contain 5 or 6 digit code. It is unique code. Then you need to input this code. When you successfully enter onetime code you are allowed to use resource.
