Simple Tips and Tricks for a strong "password"...


Having a password both easy to remember and pretty strong to protect your online identity is definitely a tough task but not that hard to achieve. Here are a few tips from my little mind box to protect your online passwords from being hacked and to generate a tough password that secures your privacy::::

* Never use the same password for all your online accounts.
* Keep changing the passwords as frequently as possible. May be weekly or monthly, but changing passwords is a hugely suggested technique of staying safe online. A tip-off here is that, you can just simply interchange a set of passwords between your different accounts and in that way you don't need to remember a lot of passwords.
* Avoid saving passwords on the computers you use unless it is a personal computer that none other than you use. Never never ever check the "remember me" button.
* Never use passwords that have the characters in some kind of a sequence like, 123 or xyz or something else like them.
* Never use the common passwords like 123456, "password", your name, or your close members names, try something innovative yet easily remember-able.
* Always use a mix of Caps, small letters and numbers in your passwords. This technique increases your password's strength 10-fold.

Hope these tricks help you out. I know that most of you know these tips and tricks but still thought some one might get some kinda benefit from this post. Love you all...
