Password Security is Crucial for Secure Browsing, are You Marking these Crtical Mistakes?

Are you making yourself a target for fraud? More and more often I am hearing stories of people who have had their accounts hacked. They have had money stolen, misplaced sleep, spent hours setting up new accounts, or had their credit ruined. Don't let this happen to you personally.

Are you making these dangerous mistakes?

Mistake #1: Using the same password for all your accounts.

Please don't do this. Use different passwords for every email account, and definitely use unique passwords for procuring websites where you'd enter your credit card.

Mistake #2: Quick passwords

The danger of someone guessing your password is increasingly difficult the more characters are in it. So, go for the gusto and make your passwords long.

Mistake #3: BradPitt, Charlie, Sarah, Princess, Barbie, Gandolf -- Did I guess it yet?

Do not use kids' names, pet's name, nicknames, names from characters in books or movies or celebrity names. Even if I didn't guess it in my list, someone who understands you could.

Mistake #4: Easy to remember English words

Easy to remember is also easy to guess. Passwords should not contain English words found in a dictionary. Non-English words or any words in any dictionary are a great risk as well. And, for goodness sakes, in case your password is "password" or "test" then it is really a wonder you haven't been hacked yet!

Mistake #5: Numbers are no-no's.

Seriously, stay away from birthdays, anniversaries, addresses, social security numbers or telephone numbers. They are all also easy to guess.

Choose random passwords for banking sites like PayPal. Combine letters (both uppercase and lowercase) and numbers.

If all of this sounds also hard to remember, then consider utilizing a Password program. A majority of the good password programs will not likely only store your passwords in your computer, but they'll generate completely random passwords when you need one.

It truly is never a good time to find out that someone has stolen money from you -- or locked you out of your own personal email account. It truly is a waste of your respective time and money. Please protect yourself.
