With the problems of spam and hackers everywhere on the internet, it is best to learn how to equip yourself with armour against them. This article will help you create a virtually unbreakable password, all in a matter of just a few minutes.
Steps
-
1Choose a book of your own choice. A book of fiction works best, however, a textbook will suffice.
- Pick a book that is generally text-based.
-
Close your eyes and open the book to a random page. Then, place your finger on a random word (with your eyes still closed!) This word will be the first part of your secure password. Repeat the process two more times.Advertisement
-
Capitalise the first letter of each word. If you feel like this would benefit the security of your password, capitalize the last letter of each word too.
-
Choose your favourite double-digit number. If your password contains simple words (the, it, or, and, so, in, etc.), add an extra number.
-
Add a random punctuation mark. This will add the final amount of security needed for a strong password.
-
6Test it out with an online password-strength meter online. You have created a virtually unbreakable password!Advertisement
