5 Tips For An
      Unbreakable
          Password



SafeSpaceOnline



    LOGO
 Is your password 100% secure? Are you
  sure?
 Despite the current wave of identity theft and
  corporate security breaches it's amazing how
  very few people treat their passwords with any
  level of seriousness. Most computers users,
  both at home and in the office, see passwords
  as a nuisance and therefore make them as
  easy to remember as possible. This can be a
  catastrophic mistake.
 There are certain specific guidelines you need
  to follow to choose a safe and secure
  password. Use the following tips as a "how to"
  on making your password secure.
                                            SafeSpaceOnline
 1. Your password must be alphanumeric. That simply
  means a mixture of numbers and letters such as
  xpf2778z. Why? When a hacker tries to break into a
  system they often use what are called dictionary or
  brute force hacks. A dictionary hack is an application
  that simply uses standard words and word combinations
  in an attempt to guess your password. For example
  many computer users use the word "password" as their
  actual password. A dictionary hack would crack that
  password in a few moments. Using alphanumeric
  passwords increases the number of possible password
  combinations by millions.




                                                  SafeSpaceOnline
 2. It should be 6 - 8 characters in length. The longer the
  password the harder it is for a hacking program to get around.
  If your password was abc then there are 6 possible password
  combinations. If your password was abc123 there are now
  over 720 password combinations possible. If your password
  was abc1234 there are now almost 6,000 possible
  combinations. Never, ever use a short password only
  comprised of letters.




                                                           SafeSpaceOnline
 3. Never use personal details in your password. People often use their
  home address, their age, husband or wives name, their social security
  number or their date of birth. These are incredibly easy to get access
  to by either a fellow employee or potential system hacker. Your
  password needs to be secure and hard to guess and personal details
  meet neither of these criteria.




                                                                   SafeSpaceOnline
 4. Do not write your password down anywhere. Keeping a record of
  your password for somebody to find is as dangerous as keeping a copy
  of your ATM pin number in your wallet beside your ATM card. Create a
  memorable password that you'll have no problem recalling. This is not
  as hard as it sounds and if you jot some password ideas down you'll
  quickly come up with some good ones. Obviously burn the piece of
  paper you jotted your ideas down on.




                                                                 SafeSpaceOnline
 5. Do not use the same password for more than 90 days. Create
  several variants of the same password and recycle them every 60 - 90
  days. This adds an extra layer of security to your data. By recycling
  your password frequently you make your data 1000% more secure.
  You'll notice that most large corporate force their employees to change
  their password every month for this exact reason.
 Hopefully these tips will help you choose a password that's both safe
  and secure and that you'll have some fun creating your new passwords
  too!




                                                                   SafeSpaceOnline
