This week I answer 2 questions I have been asked
How I Fight procrastination and how to I create passwords and mange them.
\xa0Basic over view is
- A password should have 10 Characters, Minimum: You need to choose a password that\u2019s long enough. There\u2019s no minimum password length everyone agrees on, but you should generally go for passwords that are a minimum of 10 to 12 characters in length. A longer password would be even better.
- Includes Numbers, Symbols, Capital Letters, and Lower-Case Letters: Use a mix of different types of characters to make the password harder to crack.
- One that Isn\u2019t a Dictionary Word or Combination of Dictionary Words: Stay away from obvious dictionary words and combinations of dictionary words. Any word on its own is bad. Any combination of a few words, especially if they\u2019re obvious, is also bad. For example, \u201cpassword\u201d is a terrible password. \u201cgreen dog\u201d is also very bad.
- Doesn\u2019t Rely on Obvious Substitutions: Don\u2019t use common substitutions, either \u2014 for example, \u201cH0use\u201d isn\u2019t strong just because you\u2019ve replaced an o with a 0. That\u2019s just obvious.
