Secure password
A secure password is a strong password. How to create it?
-
1
Choose a sentence that is easy to remember,
e.g. She really likes red fried tomatoes. It will be the basis for building a strong password.
-
2
Create a new,
meaningless word from the first two letters of each word in the sentence above: shrelirefrto.
-
3
Increase the password strength by adding uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers,
e.g. sHRelirefrT0.
-
4
Replace some letters and numbers with special characters,
e.g. $HRelirefrT0
Features of a strong password
Features of a strong password
A secure password is a so called strong password – have a look at its characteristics:
- in case of authorization with SMS codes – it is 10 to 32 characters long and is a combination of numbers, upper and lower case letters and symbols (e.g. #%^&@)
- for certificate-based authorization – it is 8 to 16 characters long and is a combination of numbers and upper and lower case letters
- it is easy for you to remember, but difficult for others to guess
- it does not contain words with logical letter replacements, for example "my p@ssw0rd"
- it does not contain the entire dictionary word
- it differs significantly from previous passwords
- it does not contain repeated characters (e.g. 111111111), sequences (e.g. abcdefgh), or sequence of characters appearing next to each other on the keyboard (e.g. QWERTY).
