How to choose a secure password

 

image from securesiteserver.co.uk

Computer viruses and malware are becoming more and more common these days. Crackers have grown more adept at accessing your personal information and using it to their own advantage. This is why it is important to protect all your accounts and information, which you can do in many ways. You should make sure that your antivirus software is always up to date and that you never answer e-mails that ask for your personal details. Having strong passwords is one of the most important ways that you can protect your information. They can guard e-mail accounts, social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, as well as computers and other electronic devices like tablets and mobile phones.

 

When it comes to choosing a password, there are certain things to remember. You will be using these passwords regularly, to access your computer and play partypoker, to log in to your e-mails and social networking sites and to read password-protected documents. So a lot of thought should be put into creating them. You should not be using the same password for everything either, as if someone finds it out they will be able to access all of your information. Keep them separate and varied to increase security.

 

Passwords should be long, with both capital and lowercase letters, as well as numbers and if possible, symbols. Do not choose the standard things like dates of birth, addresses or names. Instead, go for obscure words that are spelled wrong, or simply make up your own one. Never write down your password and keep it close to your computer. If you must write it down, then keep it somewhere else that is safe and not obvious. Change your passwords regularly and never tell them to other people, that way you stand a good chance of keeping your information safe.

so guys….  be careful please… Police
