Alright passwords, just talking about passwords real quickly and we will get back to the phone 180039 online 18003966546. Choosing a password is one thing, keeping the password private is another and the behaviors that you engage in when you use password protection is sort of a third layer. First of all let*s talk about choosing passwords. The problem with any security system is always the fight between security itself, how security system is and the ease with, which the person who is operating the security system can remember the password, can use the password system etc. So most people try to come up with passwords that are easy to remember for them so that they don*t forget in the future and have to go get the IT guy or whoever to come back and say you know I have only reset you password. Try to avoid and I love to do this when I go and speak in front of groups, I may do this when we go to the American Camping Association. I have everybody in the crowd hold their hands up and I say okay now drop your hands the moment I describe your password, is your password a swearword. Some hands go down lot of people like to use swearwords passwords. Is your password the name either spelt forwards or backwards of a loved one, a pet or a famous person, more hands go down.

Is your password all-lowercase? More hands go down. Is your password found in the dictionary, a word found in the dictionary by this point almost all hands are down, and then I say you know, does your password include both letters and numbers upper and lowercase? And then by that time unless I am talking to a group of security geeks, you know the password is down, all hands are down. So when you are doing this you want to fight against certain things you want to fight against dictionary attacks, which you are basically taking a dictionary of words and brute force trying to figure out your password by attempting over and over to get into your account. You want to avoid the common passwords, swearwords, words dealing with sex, words that are common names etc. The best password to come up with is a password that features 3 things it*s longer than 6 to 8 characters or in some cases you are limited by the length of your password, but try to do 6 to 8 characters or more upper and lowercase characters. If your password system can accept it include punctuation, but certainly include numbers so a password like O$6yer8*Z that would be a very difficult password to remember, but also a very difficult password to hack, even using a brute force method. So there is always that trade up try to go specifically for harder to remember but hard to think about passwords hard to crack passwords.
