Guide to create Strong Passwords

Choosing a password is very tricky task for many of you. If someone steals your password, he can use it in many ways like he'll use your name to open new credit card accounts, apply for a mortgage, or pose as you in online transactions, but if you have a strong password no one can steal your password easily.
Now I'am going to give you some usefull tips to create a Strong Password.

First of all, you need to know the qualities of a strong password:

• Length: Length plays an important role in a strong password, each character you add to your password, increases the protection it provides. Hence 8 to 14 characters are minimum for a strong password and 14 or more are ideal.
• Complexity: The greater variety of characters that you have in your password, the harder it is to guess. An ideal password combines both length and different types of symbols.
• Easy ro remember, harder to guess: A password should not be so complex that even you could not memories it. It should be easy to remember but harder to guess.

Secondly, you should know some password strategies to avoid:

• Avoid sequences or repeated characters: "12345678", "222222", "abcdefg" or adjacent letters on your keyboard do not make a secure password.
• Avoid using only look-alike substitutions of numbers or symbols: Criminals will not be fooled by common look-alike replacements, such as to replace an 'i' with a '1' or an 'a' with '@' as in "M1cr0$0ft" or P@assword.
• Avoid dictionary words in any language: Criminals use sophisticated tools that can rapidly guess passwords that are based on words in multiple dictionaries, including words spelled backwards.
• Avoid using only one password for all your accounts: If your password is compromised on any one of the computers or online systems that use it, you should consider all of your other information protected by that password compromised as well.

Finally, follow the tips to build a strong password:

• Taking a phrase and crunching that into a number of letters: The strongest passwords look like a random string of characters to attackers. But random strings of characters are hard to remember. Make a random string of characters based on a sentence that is memorable to you but is difficult for others to guess. For example, "My son Adam is ten years old." becomes "msaityo".
• Add complexity to your password or pass phrase: Mix uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers, introduce intentional misspellings. For example, the above mentioned sentence can become "MsAi10Yo".
• Substitute some special characters: Use symbols that look like letters or replace letters with numbers to make the password complex. For example, "P4$$w0rd".
• Use two or more words: You can also choose the combination of two or more words. For example, "This_is_my_password".

So that's it friends now you know, how to create a strong password.
