At least once a week i will encounter someone who has lost access to their online account through a poor password and the one common mistake is that a word is visible which makes it easy to “break”.
For example:
- eve20156
- crows1997
- crows1998
- port2004
If you do not want to use a password manager you need to eliminate the word but as we all know it is hard for us to remember passwords so how do we make the above passwords just a bit better.
- 20E15ve6!
- 19Cr97ows#
- 19Cro98ws!
- 20Por!t04
Some slight changes have made these more secure but still able to be remembered.
Also remember to turn on 2 factor authentication
