HOW TO CHOOSE A STRONG PASSWORD


There are some simple things to keep in mind while choosing a strong password.

  • Your password should not be a word that appears in the dictionary (to prevent dictionary-based attacks)
  • Your password should not be blank or same as your username.
  • Your password should be a combination of alphabets,numbers and special characters.Ideally, one should try and use both lowercase and uppercase characters.
  • Your password should not be your name followed by your birth date. For example, one should not have a password like connor1234.
  • Your password should not be repeated.
  • Your password MUST be changed regularly.
  • Your password should not be written on a post-it note or a piece of paper stuck on your monitor or behind your CPU.
  • You should not use the same password at multiple places.
  • Your password should not be so random that you forget it yourself?
