"b" and "a" web resource. According to construction "b is for banana, an is for Apple" will turn out "bananaapple". Add between them the hyphen and the password will purchase also the necessary character. And if to integrate all this in cipher simple replacement, the password for bank.com will become really reliable nsmsms=s [[; r.
The name of the website at the end of the password
The technical director of the company on network safety of Panda Security Luís Korrons offers the following option:
To make the password unique for each website (without the need for it to write) it is possible to add the name of a web resource to its end.
Let's consider in more detail on the example of the same website bank.com. We will add a prefix to the selected password "at the end - bank". More difficult construction doing the password both clear and difficult will turn out. Too most we make with accounts on social networks "-twitter", "-facebook" and "-linkedin" or the reduced options it seems "-twit", "-face" and "-link".
There are companies which force the clients to change passwords of times in half a year or year. Here too it is possible to find a solution. Just add necessary year, quarter to the beginning or the end of the password. Let's take as a basis already familiar password of "banana", we will add to it the coming 2016 and 1st quarter. banana-16-q1 turns out. And if to make movements on only one key on the keyboard, the password will significantly become complicated and will find a type of nsmsms=3-25=j3.
And here — our unique password, quite difficult, reliable which can be remembered and without special work regularly to change (on months or years).
The size matters
In addition to an encryption it is worth talking also about quality of the password. Its length is important. The complete set includes 26 lowercase letters, 26 capital and 10 digits. Also in the password about 30 special signs can be used. All this says that for each character added to the password, the number of possible options increases by 90 times.
According to the CEO of firm of network safety of FlowTraq Vincent Burke:
The majority of websites and the companies need passwords which contain a combination at least from 10 characters lower and an uppercase, at the same time include number and one or several special signs
Recently security experts recommend to increase password length in general to twelve signs. In their opinion 12 — a minimum. This theory was created on the basis of research which was conducted at Institute of technology (the State of Georgia, the USA). Researchers used groups of video cards to crack eight-digit passwords and came to a conclusion that for this purpose there are enough two-three hours. For cracking graphic processors — the system components developed for satisfaction of needs of modern gamers were involved.
Passwords from seven characters are qualified as "hopelessly inappropriate". The researchers dealing with data security issues came to conclusion that on cracking of passwords twelve characters with modern technologies will be left by about 17,000 years. However, technology development is so prompt that it is difficult to give exact forecasts.
Originality of the password
Certainly, not only one length does the password reliable. It should not be a lung for guessing or predictable. For example, the password of LadyGaga — is good only for the devoted admirer or for the singer. The set of digits 1234567890 will not go too — too obviously that even the child can crack it, keying in a row all ten digits. Also the combination from the password1234 series will be unreliable even if it consists of twelve characters.
It is worth thinking out difficult and not widespread passwords. It is better to avoid words which can be found in dictionaries of any language. Popular replacements of letters with numbers (0 instead of "o", 4 instead of "a") do not play a special role. It is not desirable to repeat the same password many times. Though it is also done by users, according to the November research RSA of 69%. Results showed that consum
