How Powerfull is your Password ????

Sunday, June 15, 2008

Well many people fail in adding Strong password. I did a small research on this and found out a nice way of setting a strong passwords

Here is the trick:

I am Creating a Gmail ID see what i would set my password

Let me think that my user name is raghu, so with the same name i am going to set my password

While setting a Password see that how many min characters should be entered ( In gmail min 8 Character)

So now my user id is raghu and total characters in my name is 5.
Well see how i will set my password in different ways

  1. raghuuhgar - I got the password strength as STRONG, i just added a reverse of that name
  2. raghu1uhgar - This is also STRONG, i just added a number
  3. raghu!uhgar - This one too is STRONG, i just added a symbol
  4. raghu007! - This is the best trick, i always use this. I added my name with the jamesbond agent code and a symbol '!'. Thats it i have set the strongest password.

How real it works. People use Brute force method to hack passwords. They also try to put you favorite filmname etc and can trap your password. This trick is not so easy to hack. It is better to use your nick name or your Ex-Girl friend or Boy friend name with that above style than userid name coz people who have read this post can hack your ID :)

Don't try to use your family members name or your mobile number. Always remember that the password is STRONG

Hope you enjoyed this post. Plz do comment on this
