Often a password is stolen as you type it in, either from your computer or from the server you visit. It is very hard to protect against such an attack, though this type of password protects against the easiest of such attacks. Some cryptanalytic attacks use trial-and-error guessing on giant lists of words.
If I’m going to have to type the password myself, then I use it to construct a “starter” password which I then modify or embellish so that it isn’t too hard to type and it meets the site’s password requirements. If I never plan to type in the password myself, then I let it choose a really long, random password. I generally use my computer’s “generate a password” feature to help build my passwords. In many cases it will enter the password for me when I enter a web site. I use “LastPass” myself, since it works on all my smart phones and desktops. These programs help you construct strong passwords and they provide you with a safe place to store them.
#STICK EM UP HACKED SOFTWARE#
Password Storage SoftwareĪ good alternative to writing the password(s) down is to buy software like LastPass, 1Password, Password Safe, and so on. This is why you need to throw it away eventually. If someone steals your wallet or purse along with your smart phone, they might find the password and exploit it. The written password does pose a short term risk. After a while you’ll find that you don’t need the piece of paper. By writing it down, you allow yourself to practice remembering it each time you type it in. Once you’ve gone to the trouble to construct a strong password, most people aren’t going to memorize it without some practice.
Writing the Password Downįor many people, the real risk to their computer systems come from remote hackers on the Internet, and not from people in their home, office, or community. If the password requires punctuation (a “special character”) as well as letters and digits, pick a special character and stick it in a memorable place.
If the password needs to contain both upper- and lower-case letters, change one of the letters to upper case. It’s best if the result isn’t a real word. If the password is too long, discard the extra letters. Almost every web site allows passwords to contain a combination of letters and digits. Once you’ve picked the two words, pick a digit to go between them. Or pick two names of people you don’t know or ever talk about, or two types of plants, or two of something else. For example, pick two places that you have never visited, never plan to visit, and have never talked about visiting. The hacker may have harvested the emails you wrote, and may use them later to try to guess your new password. Since you’ve been recently been hacked, don’t use any words that may have appeared in your emails. The simplest way to construct such a password is to use two words, the longer the better. OK, yes, you have to pick the password first, and you probably want to write it down once you pick it. Keep that piece of paper till you remember the password without looking. Your only chance to defend is to attack first, and obtain the technologys from each nation along the way.Second, choose a password that can’t be guessed based on text in your emails! This makes you a mark for infiltration by the surrounding nations. You are the leader of the nation called 'Order', your way is of peace and knowledge, your people do not worship their weapons as gods. The others are known as: 'Archidonis' the way of the archer, 'Swordwrath' the way of the sword, 'Magikill' the way of the mage, and 'Speartons' the way of the Spear. Each believe that their way of life is the only way, and are dedicated to teaching their polices to all other nations through what there leaders claim as divine intervention, or as you will know it. Proud of their unique craft they have become obsessed to the point of worship, turning weapons to religion. Each nation has developed its own unique way to defend and attack. In a world called Inamorata, you're surrounded by discriminate nations devoted to their individual nations technology and struggle for dominance.
