Thousands of email and other online accounts like netbanking account are being hacked every day. Because of only one reason of weak Password. Many of us neglect this important aspect of our online activity. I want to share with you a few tips in forming good password.
1. Always use special characters, numbers and uppercase alphabet in your password.
2. Never use your children's names or other family members' names as password.
3. Form your own rules like replacing all A's with @, all Es with 3, etc.
4. Never use dictionary words.
5. Never type your Password before others.
6. Keep your computer.virus. and malware free.
These are a few of my techniques in password protection.
Do you have any techniques to share? Please feel free.
This will ensure that our online accounts are safe.

Each one of us will have own strategy based on date of birth or home place or hobbies etc. it is not to be told openly in a forum like this.

Namaste Ravisivan,
We can share this information as now such information is available in all banking websites.
If you access to your net banking account, all information is available under Internet banking tips

The keyboard of my computer or laptop has different language besides English letters. I just type the meaningful words but using my own language letters. It will show English letters or numbers on the screen. However, it looks like no rule or not a real word. I am the only person who know what it means. It's my way to create a password.

Its another useful tip rather. The password rule should be familiar to the creator only.

The longer the password is: the more possible combinations statistically there are which makes it harder for anyone to figure out. On the other hand it makes it harder for us to remember too. Using that password often, one can learn to remember even the longest password.

yes, you are right. There is nothing wrong in noting it down on a piece of paper and keep it safely so you can see and type it when no one is around you.

You forget we need to keep changing frequently and keep coming with new and strong password
(we need to change in 15-20 days)
Don't keep same password for different websites, always make new password for every log in in different websites.
Never use Public computer for accessing sensitive information like our bank accounts.

Well, if I tell you my techniques, I will be giving away my secrets. lol Joking aside, my technique is to make my passwords as random as possible. I don't even use my dog's name in my passwords. Thanks for these great ideas on how to protect ourselves online.

hi there many talented t lines there but i guess after all it depend on what you are thinking the time you create the password
so maybe its good to remember you tips, but when you are not at home or at work you want to do it fast and not follow the useful lines
