Image for tile. 3 Steps to Creating a Strong and Unique Password In today’s world, passwords have become an important part of our daily lives. We use them for everything from social media accounts to digital banking, and endless apps in between. Although it is easy to choose the same short and memorable passphrase for everything, it can leave you wide open for risk if one of those platforms is compromised. Step One: Change It Up The first step to protecting yourself from data breaches is defining secure phrases for your different accounts in order to alleviate risk. The consider the following tips to remember when selecting a password: Make sure your password is at least 12 characters Include upper-case and lower-case letters throughout Avoid keyboard paths like 45678 or asdfg Add punctuation marks within the password not just at the end Step Two: Make it Meaningful While there is strength in a lengthy password, trying to remember an array of random letters, symbols, and numbers such as YP&3U6?@DM2$ may be difficult; therefore, it is beneficial to use phrases meaningful to you, but ambiguous to others. Instead of using easily predictable passwords containing information shared online such as birthdays, anniversaries, or family names, try relating it to your favorite hobby, food, or movie in order to better protect yourself. For example, creating a password that combines your favorite movie and the last 4 digits of your best friend’s phone number like PreTTyWoM@N2849! ensures that cybercriminals cannot effortlessly hack your account. Here is a chart designed to help you better understand how easily a cybercriminal can guess your password and the time it would take for you to be hacked. Step Three: Keep It Secret, Keep It Safe The more complex your passwords, the easier it is to forget a character and get locked out. So, what’s the best solution to keep everything straight and safe? Online: Storing passphrases on your phone or computer or sending them through email or text often seems like a convenient hassle-free solution, but it creates the opportunity for hackers to obtain private information. Offline: Writing down your passwords can be the safest way to store your information, but it is still crucial to not record them word for word. Sadly, fraud often times comes from internal sources 4 min read
