Is your password safe? Normally people would say Yes, because they are the one that actually created the password... But what normal people would do is to just create easy password such as 123456 or abc123 etc... and it might be because they're lazy to type or something but did you notice that there are a lot of hackers in the world that would actually hack into your account and do something else? It is very dangerous especially if the account that you have is a important thing such as the thing that's more personal. Just like the apps! These kinds of thing may ask for your permission about personal things and if you gave it to them, they would record it, and if some hackers found it, they could hack into yours and buy whatever they want in the app store which is not good. So to avoid from hackers to hack into your account you better create a strong password that is also easy to remember! There're some tips of how to create a strong password. First thing that is recommended to do is to create a password that is mixed, in another word, you might want have a password that mixed with lower case letters, capital letters, numbers, and special characters; the more numbers you have, the more safe password you would have. Also, you can use password checkers to check how strong your password is or you can create one by not using the common words that we've seen before, use something unique. By looking at the chart up there (the orange one), we can actually see how less the people is using 12 characters for their password! most of the people did only 6 characters, which is not quite safe.
Here are some passwords that you might not want to use them. |
The main thing that this author is talking about is that, it is better to create a strong password in order to avoid those hackers or crackers! And for some people that doesn't know how to create good ones, this article provided you good tips of how to create good password such as mixing everything together, capital letters, lower case letters, numbers, and special numbers. The longer the character you have the more safe it is for your account. :)
The advantage of creating a strong password is that you can avoid other people from hacking it into your account. And is good to follow these guidelines because, its really helpful when you're creating one for a very important account.
The disadvantage of creating a strong password by using these guidelines is that, people are actually lazy, and it's wasting time to type such a long password just to log into an account, isn't that annoying? And some people said that, the most dangerous place is the most safe place, so if you create a password with 123, people wont know, they might try a lot of hard passwords, but actually you're having a very easy password.
I'm very very curious about the hackers... How could they hack other people's account? Where did they found those accounts that they want to hack and why didn't they get caught if they hacked other people's account (important account)...
