How to choose a secure Internet password

At the beginning it was not something that worried us too much: we chose silly passwords, easy to remember for us and, at the same time, easy to decipher for any hacker. But who was going to enter our mail? for what? It was almost unthinkable. Little by little, with more and more accounts in Internet services, we have been realizing that the keys we choose are really important. From to avoid being hacked into an account to send spam to prevent someone from stealing our wi-fi. In .com we explain how to choose a secure password for the Internet.

Steps to follow:

one

Secure passwords have two main characteristics: they are at least 8 characters long and consist of uppercase, lowercase, numbers and, if possible, symbols.

two

To make this password is also something you can remember, you can try some trick. Choose a phrase that only you know and get your initials . For example, "My brother Juan will never be able to decipher a password like this" would be in "MhJnpd1cce".

3

Another trick is to write a word or proper name by replacing the vowels with numbers . For example, are you a fan of Harry Potter? How about choosing a character from the book-to make it less obvious? Hermione Granger would be "H3rm10n3Gr4ng3r".

4

Another key is to avoid using the same password for all your services. To keep being able to remember it, you can always use a base code with a different end depending on the service . MhJnpd1cce-fac for Facebook, MhJnpd1cce-twi for Twitter, for example.

5

Do not write the passwords, but if it is really necessary (there are people with little memory), keep the paper in a safe place that only you have access to or only you know they are.
