HOW TO CHOOSE A STRONG PASSWORD

HOW TO CHOOSE A STRONG PASSWORD AND PREVENT HACKERS GUESSING IT EASILY

-> First of all why should it be strong ???

The reason is simple if it's not then hackers might hack it easily 

-> Will this method prevent them from hacking ???

Yes & No Actually because  This method of choosing the password increases the possibilities so it prevents the hackers to beak in easily .

How does it prevent lets start with a small example. Let us consider A User named RAM is creating his first e-mail  . He chose a beautiful Id like say RAM9299@gmail.com . Now Ram kept his password silly like "RAMMAR" Minimum of 6 are maintained so gmail is created. RAM Used his email very regularly and got some confidential information from company. Now when RAM is trying to open his email it's saying username and password are not correct Why & how this happens is Either ram really typed a wrong password or some Hacker hacked it because of the easy password he kept . 

-> How this Happens ???
We all Know all the user id, Passwords and sometimes Pages & History related to those id are stored in a database in the form of a table. Now when we click the sign in It starts a Query Searching for ID & Password in the database & Only When they match with the instances stored in the database we'll be able to login in to the mail or any other service 
Now Suppose  if a hacker started hacking ram's id and searching for password of-course not randomly sequentially .
 We need a little knowledge over the permutations and combination here 

Suppose the password length is 6 and we used just characters in it i'e "A TO Z All capital letters"




As shown in the above figure All the slots are for characters that we choose for the password the slots number is directly related to the password length i.e, if length increases slots increases . 

Now We Know Alphabets A-Z are 26 in number so the number of trails possible for each slot is maximum 26 . i.e, slot 1 in 26 ways similarly slot 2 to 6 in 26 ways each. Out of all tries Only one combination is the right password so no.of tries for length 6 will be 

26x26x26x26x26=30,89,15,776 with repetition . So many Combinations will be executed simultaneously (I meant all 6 slots) so divided by 36  =85,80,994 i.e, just 85 lakhs combinations time is required, Now hackers create a program to do this which can generate and check these combinations very very fast. For example  'RAMMAR' will be decoded in less than a day if he's a beginner for a pro it'll take very less time say an hour or two at max,Which is very low .

Currently very few websites support more than 3 tries for a query  though & besides it takes huge amount of money and time to create such software. So only Dedicated people(hackers) and organisations such as police,Government  secret agencies and terrorists who have unlimited  resources will use this technique. It's highly effective and lethal. So we have to choose a  Very Tough Password with greater length with combinations  to increase this time factor mainly and to do this a combination of letters both capital and low,numbers & special characters is best way and best password length would be starting from (9-15)characters  . Prevention is better than cure So Act now or it'll be too late .

Sometimes people Choose passwords out of their pet names,pets name,mobile number,real name,girl friend/ boyfriend name & their pet name  or a combination of the above mentioned  This is also Dangerous because your friend or your rival n the same class can guess it easily So It's better to avoid These combinations completely. 

Your PASSWORD should be very distinct and tough to tough to others create your own logic and never ask others to create one 

How your password should be ???

Create your own password logic

Password Logic example : 

my mobile number :"8179727374"
my name :"Ramesh" 
pet name :"nani" 
pets name :"sony" 
Gf/Bf name :"kathe"
Gf/Bf pet name: "K.S" and so on 

No instead of  'i' use a spl character '!' and a Capital letter 'RM' , A small letter/2 if possible 'ks',a number doublet/triplet '472' 
now a sample password is 

"RMks!472 " which is strong and to remember this easily create a word that can be easily remembered  by you, Simple but Very Very Strong  as length and combinations to check are increased  proportionally it's very difficult or time taking process to hack such passwords. 

It's even more encouraging if you change your password very frequently say once every 30 days.

Conclusion :

We now know how to choose a password, why to choose a tough password  & when to change a password . So use this and create a good password and Play safe .
