Creating strong password.

[AniviaBtc]

I watched a lecture on that topic some time ago. It said that the main thing about password is in its length and the randomness of the used words. They said something like: sunnyflyuingpotatoesholiday is aslmost as hard to crack as the ones with symbols and numbers. Don't know if it's true, but the lecture was persuasive)

Adding some numbers, capitalization, and special characters is usually a good idea, see above graphic.

You need to maximize using numbers, letters, and symbols to have a much unique combination that is not that easy to remember by other people who wants to steal your account. By that, you can make a variety of combinations that will help you have a secured and safe password to become more comfortable in your account. I always remember my password and I never forgot them even if they are so complicated to access and type.

Using the same password is not advisable since you might end up in some phishing websites and could use your information or password to access your other accounts. Also, you dont know every website if you could trust every one of the websites that you created an account. Employees could also mess it up or leak it on their own even if the company is a legitimate company. But when creating a strong password Usually an upper case letter plus many letters and numbers combine is enough already to make a strong password.

I think it's risky to use the same password for multiple accounts, such as exchange accounts and social media accounts. Even though it consists of many characters, if the password has been successfully hacked by someone else (for example, through social media), of course, (somebody) will easily retrieve other accounts because the password is the same.

That is not a great idea to use the same passwords on different resources for a number of reasons. There are two types of brute force attacks in which hackers may use your laziness against you and get access to all the websites on which you put the same password. One of them is called "Reverse brute force attack" when hackers take your leaked password and start searching through many of usernames in order to find a interrelation. The second one is called "Credential stuffing" when hackers trying your login+password combination whereever it is possible in order to access your accounts. If you reused your credentials, you most probably will find yourself hacked.

Regarding the strong passwords containing upper, lower letters, special characters and numbers... It doesn't matter how strong password is if the input method you are using to insert a password is not safe. You can't memorize such a long password (you shouldn't), but be careful when using a keyboard to type it manually or when copypasting, your password may be easily intercepted.

Here I agree with you. You should not trust any site, regardless of its reputation. Owners track all user activity, and not only for marketing purposes but also for the possible sale of data. What does the site know about its visitors?

And judging by the fact that they can track the entire history of the user, this can be very dangerous for the visitor himself.

I think my post here could give you a good idea about strong or bad passwords.

Understanding how password works a lot of people know how important that strong password is important for your account security but mostly a lot of experts still suggest changing your password every month for safety measures.

I was worried about this issue back in the day because if you just think about it websites could just use your password and login into your accounts if you use the same password on the other websites. And I think I've done the mistake in my early days because we know that it's easy to remember your password when you only have 1 password or 2 passwords .  As an IT I understand that passwords in a website are actually encrypted so even the programmers or the websites should not be able to see your password at least.

It's better to have a strong password or another layer of protection when it comes to your Gmail because every website is just connected to your email, having an access to your email account meaning having access to all of your accounts on different websites most of the time.

But it's a different story when it comes to phishing websites or scammed websites because their goal is to get your information so I don't think they have encryption or anything.

Also, the construction of your password is important:

Great info! Cheers.

Also, websites like LastPass allows the safety distribution through team members which is always one of the biggest risks out there.

OP has a good point about creating a strong or long password that is very hard to crack by hackers. But there are many great hackers nowadays that even you have a sentence as a password, they could easily hack your account instantly by sending and posting clicked bait links. That is why you should avoid clicking unsafe and unnecessary links because it could lead you to lose data and funds in your wallet or bank account.

Creating a strong password is an easier part, saving/remembering all those unique password for everything is harder.
That's why it's better to have mobile and 2FA verification wherever possible. And using different email address for different group of IDs are also amazingly safer.

They are sincerely safer but using the 2FA doesn't stop the hackers getting into your accounts(this has been proven by series of hacks in the industry). The only solution is for us to create a mixture of password that contains alphabets and numbers alongside characters, also, ensuring to use different password across the social medias to avert hackers getting into your privacy.
