It's not a big problem to remember the passwords. I know that you want to ask about what if I forgot my password?, there is a simple solution to remember your passwords by writing it down on a piece of paper then keep it safe and if it happens that you forgot your password, all you have to do is check the password you have wrote in the piece of paper.

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)

Giving random special characters and numbers together with letters for me is much safer than a long letters password.i wan hacked once in my online game thats why now i am more particular in my passwords creation for the assurance of not becoming a victim again

Its your stupidity if you dont come to remember a passwod that you are the one who created,ofcourse for the beginning you need to write if down so you wond forgot that soon

[Thanasis]

There are many random password generators available on internet which is much stronger than any characters were are thinking and if you pick 64 character password means it is impossible for anyone to crack it but please save your password copy as hardcopy saving on your system or in any clouds will make the condition worse.

How to Create a Strong Password (and Remember It)

By using a trusted password manager. One strong password to hold many other strong passwords.

Repeating the same password is dumb, and using a weak password is also dumb. So that's (IMO) the best solution.

Yep, trusted password manager may help manages password, I think a strong password should be of 8-16 digits. Generally, the password should be like the picture below.

in addition to this, there is always the good old method of using pen and paper to create a hard copy of your passwords. although this method is susceptible to physical theft but it still is a good way of securing your passwords if you keep that paper in a safe place that nobody can access.

Strong password is not enough to feel safe even if it is created with divers signs. It is good to look for exchanges which have high security standards, for example CoinDeal. You are informed about every login attempts on your email also confirmations are needed if you want to withdraw cryptocurrency.

I often hear people about complexity vs. length when talking about password security.

There is a simple answer to this: length.


Lets look at it:

Complexity:
We got a charset of 26 (lower case letters) + 26 (upper case letters) + 10 (numbers) + 32 (special characters) = 94
Now with a 'normal' password length (8 chars) we got 6.095.689.385.410.816 possibilities.

Length:
If we look at lowercase letters only, we got a base of 26.
A password with a length of 12 has 95.428.956.661.682.176 different combination and already is about 15 times stronger than a complex password with 8 chars.


Increasing the exponent (charset^length) is way more efficient than increasing the base.

A lowercase password with the length of 12 is hardly arguable better memorizable than a 8 char password using lower+uppercase, numbers and special chars.


So, if you want to create a strong password, rather pass on complexity, and increase the length by a few more characters.

I use strong passwords on different websites,  I do this without a password manager and I remember everything just fine.  I find a long string of words similar to an electrum seed to be the easiest option for me.  Just make sure you really use randomized words.

I would like to bump this thread to challenge users here on what exactly a strong password is all about. This is one of our seminar and I think it is still applicable of having a strong password as indicated.

That is good. Remembering long or strong password is one of the most difficult task to do but it should be remember because that is one thing which is very important because it is all about accessing account.

Wow, I hope I'm like you that doesn't have trouble memorizing long string of passwords. If it's just something random, I tend to easily forget it. So what I did is use a Bible verse as a password. But of course with combination of big and small letters as well as special characters so that it's strong. Upon doing that, I wasn't that troubled by thinking and remembering what password to use.

Hello guys!

I just want to share something that was part and discussed in our 3 day training seminar about a certain topic on creating a good password. We could use this in cryptocurrency for we know that password is a vital part in creating accounts to store crypto in wallets, accounts for trading crypto and etc.

This may not apply to all because some users here are technically good and knows about this already. But, I still want to post this thread in the pursue of helping others for some average users that do not have that much knowledge on creating good and strong password.

I Hope that hackers could not easily invade our accounts especially with our precious BCT forum accounts and our digital wallets.

Take a look on this sample password and the time that the password could be crack!

Wow... I use the strongest kind of password though and I never use same password for any website to prevent getting pitched or compromised.. This thread is really good and helpful

Write  down the password on a paper or you can save it on your notes in your phone, thats not a problem if your password is made of Cap  and lower case letter it doesnt matter if its how long your password is, as long as you copied it

Why remember passwords? Is it possible to remember passwords from the sites on which you registered? All the ways with notes on paper, or on a mobile phone, is it really reliable?
First, ask yourself the question, what and whom am I afraid of?
Want to keep your data safe? Use data encryption software. Save everything on flash media, let there be more than one. Use Vera crypt and similar programs, create containers with a double bottom.
And yes, such paranoia is needed only if you really have something to lose. With small amounts, the competent storage of flash media is enough.

This is not a right way of remembering your password. What if that paper is lost and you will lose all your passwords. Also if someone else get to access that piece of paper, he can easily get control of your accounts. Never store your passwords on any paper.

If the person didn't write the username too, then the chances are slimmer. But personally storing them on paper is somewhat more secure than on the PC or some online storage.

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:
