The best method for choosing passwords !
The single best method for generating passwords is to do the following:
- Make up a sentence you can easily remember. Some examples:
- I have two cats: Mew and Jill.
- I like to eat Dave & Andy's ice cream.
- No, the capital of Wisconsin isn't Cheeseopolis!
- Now take the first letter of every word in the sentence, and include the punctuation. You can throw in extra punctuation, or turn numbers into digits for variety. The above sentences would become:
- Ih2c:MaJ
- IlteD&A'ic.
- N,tcoWi'C!
As you can see, the passwords generated by this method can be fairly secure, but are easy to remember if the sentence you pick is one that is easy for you to remember.
In general, the longer a password is, the harder it is for somebody to guess or brute-force it. So use the above method and merge sentences together .
#security #password #pass #brute-force #sentence #secure #crypto
the ultimate security combo is to duplicate or triplicate that password, like:
Ih2c:MaJIh2c:MaJ
IlteD&A'ic.IlteD&A'ic.IlteD&A'ic.
N,tcoWi'C!N,tcoWi'C!N,tcoWi'C!
;)
and even if you want to change the password but keep the same. One can use the same password with punctuation and doubling it like:
Old password: banana
new strong password based on banana: ?B=a)n(a/n&a%?B=a)n(a/n&a%
you can also encrypt sha256 any sentence and use it as password, if you even forgot it, just encrypt the same sentence and you will get the password ;)
