Password security and Password protection
How to generate secure passwords
Like most computer users, you need lots of passwords: for your computer, bank accounts, Internet services. Remembering all of them is not easy. So some users create passwords that are easily to remember but also easily to guess or crack.
Tips to create secure passwords
Passwords should not be based on well-known or easily accessible personal information. You should never use personal information as a part of your password. It is very easy for others to guess things like your last name, pet's name and other personal details.
Password length - password size does matter
Each character you add to your password increases its security. Your passwords should be 8 or more characters in length. The more characters your password contains, the more difficult it can be to guess.
Use random combination of letters (upper-case and lower-case), numbers, and symbols. The greater variety of characters in your password, the harder it is to guess
You can use a pass phrase as a part of password - use a sentence you can easily remember and create a password using the first letter from each word. Note: you should combine it with other measures, such as password length, upper-case and lower-case letters.
To improve the strength of your password, avoid using only look-alike substitutions of numbers or symbols such as to replace an 'i' with a '1', etc. But these substitutions can be effective when combined with other measures, such as length, upper-case and lower-case letters.
Passwords shouldn't contain dictionary and/or foreign words.
Why you need secure password generator
Password is a very important part of your information security and it should be strong.
Secure password prevents unauthorized access to your computer, accounts, Internet services, etc
Secure passwords guarantee safety and security of personal information.
My Password Generator is advanced password generator software that uses strong algorithm to generate secure password.
How to generate really random passwords
There are many examples of "random" password generator programs on the Internet but many programs do not generate random characters in a way that insures strong security.
Computer programming languages include functions that can generate random numbers. Such library functions often have poor statistical properties and some will repeat patterns after only tens of thousands of trials. Library functions are often initialized based on computer's clock. Of course these library functions for generating random numbers may provide enough randomness for some simple tasks but they can't provide high-quality randomness.
My Password Generator uses strong algorithm to generate random passwords. My Password Generator uses Universal Random Number Generator (URAND) algorithm to generate secure password. Universal Random Number Generator (URAND) is a subroutine for generating uniformly-distributed floating-point numbers in the interval (0,1). URAND is guaranteed to have a full-length cycle.
Why you need password software
One of the problems with password security is that users forget them. Like most computer users, you need lots of passwords: for your computer, bank accounts, Internet services. Remembering all of them is not easy. That's why some users create passwords that are easily to remember (using birth date, dog's name, or some other obvious choice) and, unfortunately, so easily guessable. Easily guessable passwords can become a great weakness in your computer security.
My Password Generator is advanced password generator that generates strong passwords and maintains a list of usernames and passwords in encrypted form.
Form Auto Fill is password management tool that generates passwords based on your preferences, maintains a list of usernames, passwords and other personal information in encrypted form and
automatically fills username, passwords and other information on web forms.
Password protection - how to keep passwords safe
• Use different passwords for each account.
You should use different usernames and passwords for each web site and application. That way if one gets compromised, the others are still safe.
• Regularly change your passwords.
You should change your password at least every 30 - 60 days. The more important the password is, the more frequently the password should be changed. Old passwords should not be re-used for a period of 6 months.
• Don't share your passwords with anyone.
• Keep your passwords secure - never give out your passwords to anyone.
• Do not keep a list of passwords on your desk or in a file on your computer where it can be accessed by others.
You can use special password protection software that allows you store passwords in a safe way using encryption technology so they can't be accessed.
• Make sure nobody see the password when you enter it.
• Never send your password over e-mail.
• Do not type passwords on computers that you do not control (e.g. Internet cafes, shared systems). Do not use these computers to check e-mails, bank balances or any other account that requires a user name and password.
How to remember passwords
The simplest way to remember passwords is to create passwords yourself. If you create a password yourself, you know the way it is formed, and it is easier to remember. Of course, the harder the password is, the better the security is. But such passwords are difficult to remember.
Like most computer users, you have at least half a dozen of passwords to remember - e-mail, ICQ, bank accounts, dial-up, etc. Remembering all of them is not easy. That's why some users create passwords that are easily to remember (using your birth date, dog's name, or some other obvious choice) and, unfortunately, so easily guessable, others use the same password for all websites or try storing all their passwords in one text document, which is not safe. Easily guessable passwords can become a great weakness in your computer security.
If you have lots of passwords to remember, you should use special software, that helps you generate passwords, keep passwords, manage your passwords, store personal information, like credit card numbers, PIN codes, bank account number, etc.
