There is a huge difference between a good password and a great one! Good passwords might be easy to remember but they are often easy to hack. To make things worse, your password is only as safe as what you use it for. A great password is different from that. A great password protects your private data from hacking while you're using the strongest possible encryption standards available today. That means that even if someone manages to crack into your computer by cracking open your social media account or logging in through a phishing email, they have no way of gaining access to anything remotely personal since the passcode is not stored in plain text anywhere on the device/hard drive/server it was created on. Here are the best places to get the most secure passwords for your favourite online accounts: Social Media Accounts. Most social media sites require you to create a password for your account, so do it! Change them every few months. The more complex and less obvious they are, the lower your chances of getting hacked if you make a mistake and share them in the wrong place (remember, "the more you have in common with an attacker, the easier it is for them to find ways to compromise your information"). Email Accounts. You might not know it, but the security of your email account has a lot to do with the security of your online identity. For instance, if you use Gmail for all your personal and professional correspondence, you probably have a couple of email accounts under that main one. So when someone manages to get into your personal Gmail account and find a password for an old Yahoo! message, they can easily hijack a few years' worth of old business correspondences. If you're going to go with Gmail for everything then make sure you enable 2-step authentication on each email account that has this option available. Most websites require you to create a password for your account, so do it! Change the password regularly. The more complicated it is, the more secure it will be. If you're not sure about how to create a good one, check out this article from MakeUseOf.com. Deleting old accounts. An old account from when you were in high school maybe? That's cool and all, but don't leave that information lying around, because using or sharing that information will put you at risk of getting hacked even if the hacker didn't know who you were in real life. Websites Hosted by Third Parties (and Online Services). While there are some great services out there that don't require you to create an account when signing up for them, many do. Beware of them! They can be used to obtain information about you, so be sure to check what kind of information is stored by the site in the settings section before signing up. Other great tips: * Use unique passwords for every website. (You can scramble your password once or twice if it's not already random.) * If you're using the same password everywhere, don't use the same password on different sites—different sites will obviously create different attack vectors for an attack to succeed.
