How To Choose And Manage Passwords Effectively

Use Longer Passwords

In many cases, people will use a strategy known as a 'brute force attack' to gain access to someone else's accounts. This refers to a computer program scanning every possible combination of numbers, letters, and symbols in an attempt to crack your password. Thus, the longer your password is, the harder it is to crack it. This applies to the time it takes to do so as well.

Thus, you should use longer passwords with twelve to fifteen characters to make it hard for people to crack your passwords with this technique. However, do not just use simple patterns! Instead, you should mix the letters up and become creative. For example, you can take long sentences like 'when I was 8, my favorite football team was the Leopards' and use the first letters' wiw8mfftwtzL' as your password.
