How NOT to put a password?
- Do not put passwords after the name of your girlfriend, your date of birth, your city, your postal code, your vehicle number etc.
- A hacker can make an exhaustive list of these passwords and by using brute force attack, your password might be tried out extensively.
Example of a weak password:
Let’s say, my favourite player is Sachin Tendulkar, I keep telling this to everybody, and his jersey number is 10. In this case, I might come up with a password such as “tendulkar10” which is a bad way of practicing a password.Here is the complete video article on how to make a strong password.
