Select the number of characters that your password will include. The more characters, the stronger the password will be. The more important the information that needs to be password protected, the more characters we recommend to choose.
Next, select which characters to use in the password. All possible ones are selected by default. However, some resources do not allow the use of certain characters. Also, passwords with more characters are harder to remember.
Now click on the generate button and get your new password. Now you can click on the button to copy the password to the clipboard. Be sure to remember or write down your password in a safe place.
Passwords – they are needed everywhere on the Internet. Each time you have to think about what password to put so that they cannot crack it. So what should be the password?
Most attackers don't bother with sophisticated methods to steal passwords. They take easily guessed combinations. About 1% of all currently existing passwords can be cracked in four attempts. How is this possible? Very simple. You are trying the four most common combinations in the world: password, 123456, 12345678, qwerty. After such a pass, on average, 1% of all passwords are guessed.
Let's say you fall into those 99% of users whose password is not so simple. Even so, the performance of modern hacking software must be reckoned with. John the Ripper is a free and open source program that checks millions of passwords per second. Individual samples of specialized commercial software claim a capacity of 2.8 billion passwords per second.
When composing a password, exclude data containing information about you and your family (names, surnames, memorable dates, phone numbers). Refuse a password that includes fully written any language, catchphrases, famous quotes. Avoid passwords that match your username. Of course, such a password is the easiest to type and does not need to be remembered, but it is also elementary to crack it. Try to periodically update and use different passwords on all sites and forums.
A strong password is the main barrier that prevents most of your online accounts from being hacked. If you do not use modern methods for creating passwords, then it is quite possible that scammers will be able to pick them up in just a few hours. To avoid exposing yourself to identity theft and ransomware, you need to create passwords that can withstand the efforts of hackers armed with modern hacking tools.
No matter where you register, on any site you leave personal information about yourself, protected by a password. The sooner you come up with a complex and unique password for yourself, the sooner you will accustom yourself to order and do everything possible so that your accounts are not hacked.
Yes, now the most important services use two-factor authentication. Even after knowing your password, the scammer will not enter the account, since the entrance must be confirmed with a code that came to you by SMS on your phone. But you must admit - it's not pleasant enough to realize that your only password for all services has become known to someone. And now it's only a matter of time before he tries to enter it on other sites in conjunction with your email. And there - bonus points in stores, your delivery addresses and other personal data.
Today's cybercriminals use sophisticated technology to steal your passwords. This is very important to know, because many people try to make passwords that are difficult for a person to guess, but do not take into account the existence of effective algorithms and special programs that take into account user tricks when guessing passwords.
Dictionary brute-force: Use a program that automatically combines common dictionary words using frequently occurring combinations. Users try to come up with passwords that are easy to remember, so these hacking methods follow obvious patterns.
Social media data and other personal information you disclose may also be useful to attackers. Users often use names and birthdays, pet names, and even the names of their favorite sports teams to compose passwords. All this information is very easy to find out by spending a little time studying your social media accounts.
Brute-force attacks use automatic programs that try all possible combinations of characters until your password is found. Unlike dictionary searches, brute-force algorithms have a hard time dealing with long passwords. But short passwords in some cases can be picked up in just a few hours.
Phishing is an attempt to get you to hand over money or important information to a scammer. Fraudsters usually try to impersonate representatives of organizations that you trust, or even your acquaintances. They can call you on the phone, write an SMS, an email or a message on social networks. In addition, they may use fake apps, websites, or social media accounts.
You must create a separate password for each site. Using the same password for multiple sites is not secure. To store passwords, use: a notebook (put it in a locked desk drawer or closet, keep it out of sight) or a password manager. Do not store passwords on a piece of paper attached to a monitor or keyboard, in a text document on your desktop, on a flash drive, or in your phone's memory - this is not safe.
Use two-factor authentication. For the most important online resources, such as banking, use two-step (two-factor) authentication. This is a system for accessing online services based on two keys - first you enter a password, and then you receive a special one-time code using your phone.
On our website, you can create a password of up to 50 characters, as well as regulate the inclusion of letters of different case, numbers and symbols in it by checking the boxes if necessary. The number of characters is selected by the slider.
A complex password creates an enormous number of combinations that even the fastest computer will take hundreds of years to guess. The simpler and more common the password, the easier it is to crack it by brute force.
