How secured is your Password?
People easily get hacked due to the simplicity of their password.
They don’t put the difficulty of their passwords into consideration, because they are scared of forgetting it.
you often see people use phone numbers as password, their name, and a number,
something like - Bountiful1 or Bountiful01…
If your password looks like that or close to it, you are prone to attack and it can easily be tried by anyone trying to access your social media accounts.
Quickly change your password if it’s either a phone number, simple words, your name, or an object.
Here are a few tips to apply ;
- Don’t use easy words, if you can remember it, chances are that it can be tried.
- Uppercase and Lowercase words in your passwords. (eg- BountIfuL) you can see the mixture of lowercase and uppercase.
- Add special characters including but not limited to the following;
!@#$%^?&(*)_-=+?”></.,
To make it easier, use the one you can easily remember, (eg).
=@BouN.TifuL#
- Add numbers from 0-10,20, 100, 1000 , no limits.
You just have to tweak and memorize it or write it down somewhere you alone have access to.
