Four Ways to Generate a Strong Password

Whatever your goals or interests, this informative article will teach you how you can generate a strong password in four different ways.

The first way is to use passwords related to a theme. Choose a common, significant event: a honeymoon, the birth of your child, a new bike, a new promotion. You actually need to do this because avoiding predictable keywords and using different methods to introduce random change into your passwords makes it easy for you to remember them but virtually impossible for others to guess them. You need to avoid easy-to-guess passwords and make it difficult for a malicious hacker to break into your computer account. Example phrases associated with a birth might be browneyes, quickly, onemorepush, wardnine and icepack. Ideas associated with a new bike could be deepblue, 21gears, 5speed and - wait for it - saddlesore(!)

The idea here is that you use a series of words associated with your circumstances that a felon would not easily guess. Don't forget that you may also need to mix in uppercase letters and numbers when you generate your new password. For instance, "hurry" could become hUrry66 or Hur5ry..

So try that technique.

Alternatively, you could substitute numbers for letters based upon their appearance. With a little thought, you can "see" numbers that bear resemblance to letters. So scuba becomes 5cu8a, or icecream becomes 1c3cr34m. It's not difficult, once you get the hang of it..

Another way to generate a strong password is to substitute numbers for letters based upon their location on the keyboard. The uppermost row of letters on the keyboard, QWERTYUIOP, has a row of numbers right above it: 1234567890.

So, Q=1, W=2, e+3, R=4, T=5, and so on. So, using a word I've used above, scuba becomes sc7ba, but rocket becomes 49ck35. And query become 17346!. But wait, things you'll want to avoid here are using all letters - such as query/17346. Best to mix 'n match characters and letters. And you ought to stay away from easily recognisable words or predictable day-to-day week-to-week or month-to-month changes. One example of a predictable pattern to avoid: chinMay01, chinJune02, chinJuly03, and so on. If someone was shrewd enough to unpick your password, you don't want him to be able to predict what it will be in the future..

The fourth way to generate a strong password is to consistently capitalize the zth letter or letters of your password. Some online forms require that at least one character must be uppercase. A lot of people capitalize the first character, but this is too easy to suss out. Instead, why not capitalize the second, third or fourth letter, or perhaps the final or next-to-last. Some examples: tricKy, coMMon, madNeSS, or roCket. As you can see you can capitalize more than one letter, for instance the first and third, or the second and fourth. What is important to avoid will be repetition.

Keep to the steps just as presented above and everything should go well. You'll have learned how to generate a strong password easily and rapidly.

Good luck!
