Below are the six different ways to creating a strong and secured password for yourself:

ALWAYS CHOSE A LONG PASSWORD.

This is the first thing you need if really you do not want anybody to temper with your account. Creating a long and unforgettable password is the best way of saving your account or devices from the so-called ‘Hackers’ or unauthorized users.

A long password should be between 8 – 12 characters long because anything less than that is not good enough and anything more than 12 can easily be forgotten.

USE BOTH ALPHABETS AND NUMBERS WHEN CREATING A PASSWORD.

If you want to create a strong and secured password, then you have to mix it up with alphabets and numbers in order to make it stronger. Do not over do it or else you may likely forget the password. 2 – 4 digits in your password should be enough to make it stronger and un-guessable

  ADD SPECIAL CHARACTERS TO YOUR PASSWORD.

Special characters like;    $ % ^ * & ! ) (    etc. are very important in creating a very strong and secured password for yourself.

My advice here is, make sure you do not use more than four special characters on a particular password except you know what you are doing else you may likely forget it.

USE BOTH UPPER CASE (CAPITAL LETTERS) AND LOWER CASE (SMALL LETTERS) WHEN CREATING PASSWORD.

This may not make any sense to you now, but if really you want to make a strong password, then you need both upper case and lower case. You can use the upper case in the beginning of the password or position it anywhere in the middle of the password but always make sure it is position in a place where you really will not forget it easily.

AVOID USING YOUR NAME, ADDRESS WHEN CREATING PASSWORD.

If anybody want to hack into your computer, the first guess they will take on your password will be your name, nick name, surname, address, pet name, name of spouse, mother’s maiden name etc. so try by all means to avoid those names when creating a password or else mix them up with the above method or ways.

USE PASSWORD GENERATOR IF NEED BE.

I am sure with all the above listed ways; some of you will still be having issues on creating a strong password for themselves. In addition, if you are one of such people, not all hopes are lost yet.
