It\u2019s no surprise that these passwords are easy to crack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But they\u2019re still used again and again, probably because they\u2019re easy to remember and most people just assume they\u2019ll never get hacked. Now that we rely so much on the internet and online services, that\u2019s just not true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to keep your online accounts secure and protect yourself from hackers? We\u2019ve got you covered. Follow these 9 tips to come up with a secure password that\u2019s easy to remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-flat ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com/blog\/password-security-tips\/#9_tips_for_secure_passwords\" >9 tips for secure passwords<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com/blog\/password-security-tips\/#How_to_check_if_your_email_address_or_password_has_been_leaked\" >How to check if your email address or password has been leaked<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_tips_for_secure_passwords\"><\/span>9 tips for secure passwords<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Never include your personal information&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Never use the names of your pets or family members, and certainly not your own name. The same goes for birthdays, your address, the type of car you drive, etc. If someone knows you or has captured data records with your personal information, it\u2019s much easier for them to guess these passwords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Don\u2019t use logical sequences letters or numbers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This includes lists like &#8220;123456,\u201d &#8220;abcdefg,&#8221; and &#8220;qwerty.&#8221; These strings are really easy to remember, but they are among the very first combinations that password crackers will try. So never use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Make your passwords longer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The longer your password is, the more numbers, letters, and special characters it can have\u2014and the longer it takes to crack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But your password doesn\u2019t have to be a novel. &#8220;AJarOfStrawberryJam&#8221; is easy to remember and already comes in at 19 characters. In general, 12 characters is recommended as a good length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Mix letters, numbers, and special characters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The password must consist of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters.\u201d You\u2019ve probably seen similar prompts a thousand times before. This is because even if your password is 20 characters long, it\u2019s no use if it only contains the letter \u201ca.\u201d Automated password-cracking programs will guess it easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So back to our strawberry jam. &#8220;OneJarOfStrawberryJam&#8221; already includes upper and lower case letters. Now we\u2019ll add numbers and special characters, and capitalize the beginning of each syllable. \u201c1JarOfStrawBeRryJam?!\u201d has the same number of characters and is almost as easy to remember. But it\u2019s a lot more complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Replace letters with numbers and special characters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You know the way some letters look like numbers or signs? For example, the letter &#8220;E&#8221; looks like an inverted &#8220;3&#8221; or a &#8220;\u20ac.\u201d And &#8220;S&#8221; looks like a &#8220;5&#8221; or a &#8220;$.&#8221; You can take advantage of this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you can turn &#8220;1JarOfStrawBeRryJam?!&#8221; into the advanced version:&nbsp; \u201c1JarOf$trawB3RryJam?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you write it out, this password looks quite confusing. But if you remember the basic strategies behind it (S = $, E = 3), you can easily remember this monster of different characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Think of sentences and shorten them<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Who said that passwords could only have one or two words? They can also be a whole sentence like, &#8220;I eat a jar of strawberry jam every Saturday!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then shorten it by, for example, only using the first two letters of every word: \u201cIEaAJaOfStJaEvSa!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or take it to the next level by swapping letters with similar symbols and numbers, like we did above (S = $, E = 3): &#8220;1\u20acaAJaOf$tJa3v$a!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There you go\u2014a password that looks horrendously complicated but is easy for a weekend-jam-enthusiast to remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><div class=\"jimdo-alert\"> <strong>Remember:<\/strong> This post is mentioning some examples of passwords. Don&#8217;t use them as your own password! <\/div> Remember, don&#8217;t use the examples in this article for your new password. In this article we have mentioned examples of passwords. These passwords are now online and can be seen by everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Don\u2019t share your passwords with anyone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Colleagues, friends, family\u2014not even your Mom. This isn\u2019t an issue of how much you trust a person. But how easily passwords can be picked up by other people. For example, if your Mom types your password in on a public computer, or if she logs on to an unsecured WiFi network where hackers love to hangout. In short, the more people know your password, the greater the risk that someone else will crack it soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, there are times when you will need to share your password with someone else. For example, if you\u2019re working together on your website. In this case, we recommend using a password manager.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Use a good password manager<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how secure or complex a password is, in the end, you have to be able to remember it. Easier said than done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, there are reliable programs that do exactly this for you. Password managers like LastPass or Dashlane not only store passwords, they also create them. And they are so complex and so secure that hackers can&#8217;t get around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to share access to a certain user account with someone else, you can simply send them a link generated by your password manager. This way, the other person will never see your actual password and you can cancel their access at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What about letting web browsers like Safari or Chrome save your passwords? Lots of modern browsers will offer to save passwords for you. But we advise against this because experts consider saving your passwords in a browser to be less secure than using a password manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Use different passwords for different accounts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The struggle is real. You already have a super secure password that you can easily remember. Why not use it for multiple accounts?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer: No password is 100% secure. If a password falls into the wrong hands, the culprits have not only gained access to one of your accounts, but to several. And that can cause you a lot of problems, very quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is even more important because unfortunately not all platforms will keep your data completely secure. In recent years, password lists have appeared on the internet again and again. Criminals can access these leaked passwords then test them on different accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_check_if_your_email_address_or_password_has_been_leaked\"><\/span>How to check if your email address or password has been leaked<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re worried that your data might have been leaked by an online platform or service you use, it\u2019s easy to check. Just visit <a href=\"https:\/\/sec.hpi.de\/ilc\/\">Hasso Plattner Institute Identity Leak Checker<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/haveibeenpwned.com\/\">Have I Been Pwned<\/a> and enter the email address you use to log in to your online account(s). These systems will then tell you if any passwords associated with this email address have been leaked online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It might take a bit of practice, but once you get a new strategy in your head it\u2019ll be easy to create secure passwords that you can remember. And when it comes to protecting your identity online, it\u2019s more than worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center post-cta has-white-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-0111f410 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bring your business online with Jimdo.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-right is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-17124a9a wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a data-tracking=\"post_cta_create_website_signup\" class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/register.jimdo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Start Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You might find it hard to believe, but the most popular password in the world today is &#8220;123456.\u201d Followed closely by &#8220;123456789&#8221; and &#8220;12345678&#8221;\u2014not forgetting the old classic, &#8220;password1&#8221; which is still a firm favorite with internet users.
