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.
