What not to do

  • Don't create easy passwords such as
    • Name
    • Mobile number
    • Pet name
    • Date of birth
    • 123456 ,.. etc
  • Avoid using words with any meaning to prevent dictionary attack.
  • Avoid recycling password.

How to create secure passwords

  • No password is unbreakable, longer it takes to crack better it is.
  • You can use song lyrics with upper and lower case mixing or first or second letter of the each word in the song.
    • The club isn't the best place to find a lover
      • tCiTbPtFaL 
      • t1C2i3T4b5P6t7F8a9L 
      • t3C4i4T3b4 ( starting letter with word count )
      • hLStElOi O( second letter )
  • You can use sentences or phrases or Quotes and convert it similar to song.
  • You can use next letter in keyboard to the word you want for (G) to use it can be a key left(F) or right(H). But don't create left and right randomly, so u can memorize easily. 
  • Use as much characters as possible
  • Use combination of number, alphabets and symbols which decreases the likely hood of cracking your password.
  • Use password generators like wolframalpha. (it not only generates passwords but also show the time taken to crack the generated password)
  • You can use password managers which I don't personally like.
