Hello,
In the digital world the security about the protection of private data is always a very important aspect and unfortunately often feel about data theft and identity theft most often for criminal purposes.
One thing that often underestimates is to use a good password that is difficult to guess or calculate.
Many times we use password that, also thanks to the computing power of today's computers, are easy to guess.
And your password is secure?
Thanks to this site I propose you can see if your password is secure enough.
With HowSecureIsMyPassword you will know how much time you need to find your password with a desktop computer today.
Just write the password in the field provided and soon you will see enough time to calculate your password,
HowSecureIsMyPassword: https://howsecureismypassword.net/
If it appears to be little time to find your password, maybe you should change it to something more complicated.
There are a few things to keep in mind when you choose a password, here I propose some recommendations.
How to choose a good password
Avoid using:
Your name
The name of your pet
The name of your son
The names of their favorite fantastic characters
The name of your chief
Any name
The name of the operating system that you are using
The hostname of your computer
Your phone number
Any birthday date
Any personal information that can be easily found
Commonly used words
Any user name on your computer in any form (with capital letters, etc.)
Words in English vocabulary
Words in foreign vocabularies
Password with all equal letters
Common sequences of letters on the keyboard (for example: asdfg, 12345, qwerty, etc.)
Any of the above things written in reverse
Any of the things above preceded or followed by a number
A good password should:
Have both uppercase and lowercase letters
Have numbers and punctuation characters along with letters
Be easy to remember in order to avoid having to be written somewhere
Be at least 7 or 8 characters, although it is recommended to at least 14 characters
It can be typed quickly so as to avoid that someone can see what we write
It would be appropriate to use a different password for each registration on different sites, so that if by chance on a site that someone can steal your passwords, personal information on other sites are safe.
Even Microsoft itself has created a web page to test the security of your password.
To test your password simply type it in the password field and instantly displays the level of security of your password (low, medium, high, maximum).
It must be said that it is pointless to use password that you believe to be super safe if your computer is infected with viruses, trojans or other malware that may endanger your data, so in addition to using strong passwords is required, install a good antivirus and is always updated with the latest virus definitions.
Regards.
