The Importance of a Strong Password
and the EASY Method to create one Now
Take a second to think about the complexity of your passwords.
Believe it or not, odds are your passwords aren’t very good.
Please tell me that none of these are your current passwords?
If so, PLEASE change them!
- 123456
- password
- 12345
- 123456789
- 1234
- 12345678
- baseball
- football
- qwerty
Guess What?…
Most of the sites or online resources we use daily—from our online banking, Facebook to Gmail—are secured using a simple password.
GRRRRRR….Let’s make a STRONG Password now:
1. Think of a sentence that’s fun and easy for you to remember. For example:
“My favorite thing to eat is beef tacos with rice and beans.”
2. Take the first letter from each word and line them up in order. For example:
“Mftteibtwrab”
3. Now get creative and swap a few letters with special characters, numbers, and capitals. For example,
I changed the letter “a” to “&” since it represents the word “and” in my original sentence.
“Mft2e!btwr&b”
CONGRATS!
You did it! You now know how to create a SECURE and EASY password!
Be sure to use a different secure password for each online account.
If you have an office with over a dozen of employees,
you might be considering a managed password solution.
