Many people choose to use the easiest method to remember their computer passwords. If I use the same password, and I make it short and familiar, I won't forget it. What they may not realize, is their laziness may be exposing their personal information and accounts to hackers and identity theft.
While choosing a password you can easily remember seems like a good idea, sometimes making your password simple to remember can increase your risk of being hacked or cracked. Geeks Anywhere recommends following these guidelines to protect your files and help you ensure your password is secure.
Following the guidelines listed above will help you create a secure password, but they need to remain unique and possibly avoid anything personal to you. Brute force attacks will try to crack your password using commonly used lists, dictionary terms and random numbers. By forcing them to work harder to break your password, you increase your security and reduce your risks that your passwords will be cracked.
