Having a strong password is not a trivial matter in these times. The techniques are becoming more and more sophisticated. Securing our services, be it email, social networks, online banking or any other matter in the world of the internet, can make us a bit lazy when it comes to having to memorize numerous passwords and in the most varied ways. But it is necessary and here we will teach you a simple way to memorize it without losing a bit of security in its construction.
Tips for a strong password
A strong password (forget about putting your dog’s name or your birthday) must contain many characters. In this case, the longer the better: 12 characters or more is the ideal number to ensure that we are talking about a password with a strong security level. The password must include uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols. With all these elements we can already think about our key.
The formula for success. To remember a password and not die a victim of despair (because we have made it so complex that we do not even remember), we can create it from several elements : a song that we like, a number that attracts us or we easily remember, a symbol and choose vowels and consonants. With all these elements we can organize them as we want and memorize a phrase that lists them. For example, if we choose the song ‘Love me tender’ by Elvis Presley as a starting point, a strong password could be: $ L0v3m # t4ND8r. We would have +12 characters in which we would have mixed all the necessary elements to consider it a secure password.
If you like animals, food, travel, or movies, you can try this same trick. In fact, it is advisable not to use the same password in all the online services that we use, so if we have a guideline to follow to develop it, it will not cost us to memorize more than one password and our data will thank us.
