Creating Strong Passwords

Why a strong password is needed?

Simple answer: to prevent being hack (easy password can be hack using bruteforce method). For example https://0fajarpurnama0.github.io/internet/2020/04/04/simple-bruteforce-demo-hydra.

Elaborated answer: to prevent unintended access to your accounts because:

• They can lock you out from your own account.
• Impersonate you like in social media to destroy your reputation.
• Steal confidential information or at least your privacy.
• Steal your funds if you have some sort of electronic money.
• In summary, lose everything electronically and maybe even worse as time passes.

Check your email whether it has been pawned or not: https://haveibeenpwned.com

In my opinion a strong password:

1. Contains small letters (a,b,c,d…).
2. Contains capital letters (A,B,C,D…).
3. Contains numbers (1,2,3,4…).
4. Contains symbol ($,<,>,?,+,+…).

For additional super strong password:

• More than 6 characters.
• Symbols not on keyboard (ALT+1265=±).
• Words not in dictionary.
• Starts with symbols.
• End with symbols.

Password Example

Example of strong password: My8.oP.

Example of super strong password: ╥F0r.m3-w4T1ngYoU╝

If you doubt your previous password, check them whether they have been pawned or not: https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords. If you are sure, then don’t bother because by putting it will add your password to the website’s database or cache.

Disclaimer

Although you have a strong password, it does not protect you from social engineering. For example, clicking on a suspicious link, opening a suspicious attachment, running a suspicious programming, entering your password on a fake login page because you didn’t double check the link, etc. This is because you are giving your password to them, in other words, they don’t need to guess.
