Password security

The human being likes the ease and the little mnemonic tricks, it is normal .

It's normal but not very secure !

90% of the people I interviewed use the same password at least oncefor different services. Like that, if someone retrieves this password, he has as a bonus gift immediate access to other services too.

Change your passwords for each service, god!

I do not think it's necessary to make a general reminder about password security, you can imagine that love or 123456 ( one of the most used !) Are very obvious and easy to find passwords.

I also know that typing a password like This-is_a.m0td3PASSE * is certainly very secure but impractical to write and remember.

So we need a compromise.

Try to capitalize , in the middle or at the end of your password and possibly a number or special character . For example myMotdepass3 is quite easy to remember and quick to write in addition to being well secured .

You also see that I replaced the E to pass through 3 (for those who know leet ), this will make the password more difficult to find if someone already has the beginning.

Imagine I see you writing jaimeFaceb , I guess the end. I would have a hard time finding jaimeFacebouk2 . So do not hesitate to place some traps in your passwords to make them unique.

I will end this article on general recommendations regarding passwords:

Once again, I repeat myself and repeat what is already said, never give your passwords to anyone .

I know the "  yes but I'm your darling so I give you everything, I have nothing to hide   "

Okay, it's a beautiful proof of love, but in the meantime the password remains unchanged months after, and I know what I'm talking about.

So at worst, change your password (create a temporary one), give it to a person of extreme trust , and change it again in the day. You will not risk to post your personal information very sensitive to anyone's eyes for a proof of love? Yes ? I do not hope so.
