12:53 How to create a good password? my way | |
Most of us have a need to create multiple accounts for different services: mail, social networking, IM, etc. But what is most important when creating an account? Correctly, the password! Just yesterday, I've found posted on the Internet, containing more than 130,000 passwords a social network Vkontakte. I watched this I've found, and made a very sad conclusion: Many users create weak passwords for their accounts. Alas, in the XXI century type password «qwerty» or "23091984" have no right to exist. On the other hand I understand the users - to create and remember a complex password such as «ruT $ kipS1lAve» is not so simple. I'm using the following algorithm to create a complex password that is (password) is easy to remember: Step 1. randomly take any adjective. For example, "Fried". Step 2. randomly take any noun. The main thing that the noun "is hard to reconcile" with the adjective, which we took in step 1. For example, "snow". Step 3. Take a number, which is easy to remember (your favorite number, date of birth, last 4 numbers on mobile phones, etc.). For example, "1984". Step 4. Take any punctuation mark. For example, "!". Step 5. write the lines that we have received 1 - 4 steps into one big line: "zazharennyysnezhok1984". Step 6. Change this line lowercase to uppercase characters: "Zazharennyysnezhok1984". Step 7. start typing the string in the English keyboard layout: "Pf; fhtyysqcyt; jr1984!". This line will be our password. The advantages of this algorithm ochvidny, because the output we get the password: 1. It is not easy to crack by brute force (password includes lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers and punctuation marks). 2. It is easy to remember (most people will easily be able to remember a password that includes a "paradoxical" phrase ("black snow", "dry vodka", "buggy Linux"), numbers and punctuation marks). And finally, I will say this: the security of any security system is the most insecure parts of it. Therefore, not enough to come up with a good password for your account, you need to provide comprehensive protection for your computer. However, this is a topic for another article. Ps I urge you to use this algorithm. You can modify it yourself, remove or add some steps. Zzy I know that there are many programs that can generate and store complex passwords, but do not think that's a good idea to use them. Why? First, if a program is hacked, then you lose all your passwords (and the attacker, respectively, shall possess them). Second password that you personally come up with, and not a program harder to forget. | |
