Someone in my office shared above link with me and I thought I should write a post for how to create a good, strong and non breakable password.
I can guarantee you that no one will be able to break your password on any of the reputed mail service like yahoo, hotmail, Gmail or any mail service that has a good quality product. I have only 7 character long password for many of the mail boxes without number but its unbreakable till this date with a open challenge with all of my hacker and cracker friends.
1) It should not be your name or your kid’s name.
2) If should not be your date of birth or marriage anniversary or your phone number.
3) It should be not the word that you always use like marvelous or awesome or lovely or whatever that you use
what precaution you should take care for securing your password
1) you should never ever take the name or that word on your lips when you are talking about password or anything related to that.
2) You should not share your personal information given on registration page to anyone.
3) You should always do a tweak with basic things that people might know about you.
For example in secret question your pet names answer you gave kitty but you I would recommend never to give the correct name. I choose my one very old friends name you can choose whatever you want but you should not disclose that to anyone.
4) For pin code don’t give it exactly what you have unless it’s not a legal thing or its not required to get something from net to your home.
Generally this information is hidden and it use for recover your forgotten password.
5) You should not use the same password for your 100 account. I saw this for many people that I can login on there all the known account with a same password. Do a slight change in your password that you can remember but no one can guess
6) You should have a different password for login on forum it’s very very very important because your username and password goes to forum owner in open string many time and it’s like you are giving your password to forum owner in a silver plate
7) if you want to make your password strongest then add one or 2 numeric value in that.
Hope it was useful for you and you will never create a week password
Thanks
