While most end users understand the importance of using passwords to secure corporate systems and data, they don’t always know how to create a strong password.
So how can you make your passwords complicated enough to deter hackers and easier enough to remember?
Come up with a base word
Pick the name of a pet or any common thing that’s easy to remember.
For example, say you once lived in machupichu. You can use that to establish the base of your password and satisfy the required criteria for a strong password.
Remember: You need at least one capital letter and either a number or special character. So, using machupichu as your base word, you can substitute an ! or 1 for i and replace the a with @ — e.g., M@chup1chu, or m@chuP!chu.
So, even written down, this password reference would serve as a reminder of your complete password while revealing nothing to any roaming eyes.
