Password Policy

In the field of security the first thing that comes at first place is Password. Almost 90 percent people on this earth has some kind of password, like mobile password, facebook password, whatsapp, computer or laptop password and so forth. The most important password is your bank account password and those password which are related to your personal on-line use, that may harm you if these are hacked. So I'm gonna let you know 6 important things to choose a password, while creating a new password on any site for your security. It will secure you a lot from being hacked.

1. Choose Alphanumeric passwords

A lot of people don't use any number and special characters in their passwords, means they use only characters like any dictionary word or a name or an other language word like any Spanish language word. If you don't use numbers or special characters like *,/,\,'',_,- in your password your password can easily be guessed or easily bypassed through an attack named Bruteforce attack.
So the most important thing that you have to remember is, always include numbers and special characters in your passwords to make it an Alphanumeric and strong password, because this kind of password can not be easily hacked and it will take a massive amount of time to be hacked. An alphanumeric and strong password may look like this: ##john$9865 don't use this password anywhere because it is an illustration, make it in your way.

2. Don't use very simple passwords

Most of the people choose a very simple password, because they think that kind of password is easy to remember. Never use a simple password that can be guessed easily. Some very common passwords that are chosen by people:
1. 123
2. 1234
3. 123456
4. 123456789
5. 321
6. 786
7. 9876543210
8. phone or mobile numbers
10. I love you
11. iloveyou
12. love
13. Date of birth like 10.6.92 or 10/6/92
14. Anniversary date like 10-6-2005 or june2005
15. Your girlfriend or boyfriend name
16. Your nick name
17. Name of the person who you love most like mother name, son or daughter name
18. 0000 upto last character of the password
I hope you have considered my opinion that what kind of password never used by yourself, because the above password can be guessed easily. Password from 13 to 16 can easily guessed by a hacking trick that is called Social Engineering. Some times you do this yourself for a hacker like you celebrate your birthday on facebook which gives your birth day and date, your anniversary your daughter name and birthday et cetera. If one of these contain your password you can hacked by others who are getting your personal details through social media, around 60 percent people are hacked because they use above listed passwords. So my recommendation to you do not use these passwords.

3. Don't share your password

Many people generally share their passwords with friends because they trust them, never do this mistake because sometimes your password is very important to you. A lot of people share their ATM password with friends around 25 percent people are hacked by this mistake.
Do not share any kind of your passwords with others, because it might be very harmful to you. So be very careful while sharing your passwords.

4. Don't write your passwords anywhere

Lots of people made a mistake to write their passwords in the notebook, registers and in their PC. If that notebook is possessed by someone else or somebody uses your PC or a virus send that file from your computer to the author of the virus, then you are screwed. Because that person now has your passwords and can easily mess with it. So if you write your passwords somewhere you may be the victim of security breech. Don't write your passwords anywhere even in your personal use computers, just keep all your passwords in your ultimate memory i,e your brain.
Around 20 percent people are being hacked through this mistake. So be aware from being hacked.

5. Don't use same password everywhere

You can easily make a mistake that use same password in multiple accounts and save yourself from password forgetfulness. It sounds a good idea but think about its pitfalls, that if you use same password and credentials in multiple accounts and forget it, and not in a situation to recover it, then you have lost all your accounts because they open only on the same password which you have forgotten. Another pitfall is, suppose somebody got your password by any means I am not going in deep, then you have a massive hazard on your each account if that person knows about you and can guess about your common websites visits, then you're also screwed.
Around 5 to 6 percent people are being hacked by this method. So my recommendations to you never use same passwords or credentials for your different accounts.

6. Length of the password

Last important thing to keep in mind while creating a strong password is the length of the password. Often people choose small passwords that are too short, this kind of password may be numerical or alphabetical and bypassed very easily and quickly using bruteforce attack. According to good standards your password must contain at least 6 to 8 characters. So always create a password with at least 6 to 8 characters.

So we have considered now, 6 Important things to create a strong password. If you keep the above 6 things in your mind while creating a password on any site you are 100 percent secure from your side. I garentee nobody would be able to hack you. Be very aware from hackers or intruders, because they are everywhere around you.
