For the password to remain only your secret, it is usually enough to follow three simple rules. Not to try to come up with short easy-to-remember passwords, do not use the same password for different sites, do not enter passwords on computers you can't trust. I like the method of Bruce Schneider, expert and author of books on information security and cryptography. It suggests using sentences that turn into a password. For example, "This little piggy went to market" can do something like "tlpWENT2m". A nine-character password that will not be in any dictionary.

Actually the nine character password also be used in a dictionary by adding some rules of combination. The whole content from wikipedia can be downloaded and added all to a dictionary. Even social media posts and comments can be scrapped and used in a dictionary.

thats true and scary AF

Well your password, however strong it is as weak as any webservice's security and password handling capabilities. If they use a http site to transfer your password and do like what twitter did in logging the password before encrypting it, or worse just save it as it is on their server then you are doomed.

So the first rule is USE HTTPS EVERYWHERE EXTENTION AND NEVER USE THE SAME PASSWORD ON DIFFERENT SITES.

Reading this article reminds me of the recent breach of Twitter (although I believe the passwords were properly hashed but the deciphering key was compromised?!)

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation, now I understand exactly what happened at Twitter.
BTW that reminds me that I should change my password there ASAP :)

I use LastPass to remember my passwords because I sign up at so many sites everyday and I can't use same password for each one of them plus I need to be very strong, so it does the job for me.

I always try to read your writing, but today's writing is more helpful than the other day. Because the password is the key to online security. Hopefully the text will be useful for everyone

@creativeidea says, My Friends! @rockz Thank you so much for informing everyone by posting Password Help. Often password hacking is heard so everyone should use the complex word password.

[janemorane]

wow like really it important information i have heard for the first time

Even if now an attacker or employee steals the password database its useless for them since they cant generate the passwords from the hashes.
like really ??

great and helpfull post

Ah isn't this concept the bedrock of blockchain technology too? SHA256 seems to lit some of my lightbulbs.

Hash is appropriate, but maybe in future we'll see more security implemented like OTP, Fingerprints, Biometrics, etc etc clubbed with eachother for more security.

Great information...at first time i read about it how companies store my password. Really awesome system to store our password. Thanks a lot sir @rockz for sharing the valuable information.

[xawi]

Very informative @rockz like we when we send messg to anyone through wallet so we use hash tag space and then messg so messg encrypted no one can see it's like that?
