Thanks for the link ;
Changing PASSWORDS should be a regular habit whether it’s an EMAIL account or the online access page of your BANK.
PS: My email PASSword is 44 Characters long
Thanks for your post!
So easy to hack it
Thanks! Already changed it
There is no “100%” solution for sure but it’s best to do what you can.
Use characters that can only be generated with “ALT” key (for example, you hit 4 keys to create the characters “®” (ALT + 0,1,7,4), “¥”(ALT + 0, 1, 6, 5)
Use lowercase + uppercase letters
Make it 40 - 45 char long
IF YOU CAN REMEMBER your PassWord, then your PASSWORD is USELESS! (EASY TO HACK)
For password generation, a good tool is https://strongpasswordgenerator.com/
A small note: Having a [insert your number here] chars password long, with all symbols and what not is useless if the storage system stores them in a way that can easily be retrieved back.
