Password Security Tips
How long my password should be to ensure better security?
Each character you add to your password length increases its security. Your passwords should be 12 or more characters in length. The more characters your password contains, the more difficult it can be to guess.
Password length is even more important than using different additional characters. E.g. if you use standard English alphabet (A-Z, a-z) and digits (0-9) - total 62 characters, increasing password length from 6 to 8 characters causes the number of possible passwords will be increased in 3844 times. While 18 additional special characters that can be used for creating passwords (total 80 characters) if password length is 6 characters, will increase the number of possible passwords only in about 4.6 times.
[top]
How can I create secure passwords?
Tips to create secure passwords
• Passwords should not be based on well-known or easily accessible personal information. You should never use personal information as a part of your password. It is very easy for others to guess things like your last name, pet's name and other personal details.
• Password length - password size does matter
Each character you add to your password increases its security. Your passwords should be 8 or more characters in length. The more characters your password contains, the more difficult it can be to guess.
• Use random combination of letters (upper-case and lower-case), numbers, and symbols. The greater variety of characters in your password, the harder it is to guess
• You can use a passphrase as a part of password - use a sentence you can easily remember and create a password using the first letter from each word. Note: you should combine it with other measures, such as password length, upper-case and lower-case letters.
• To improve the strength of your password, avoid using only look-alike substitutions of numbers or symbols such as to replace an 'i' with a '1', etc. But these substitutions can be effective when combined with other measures, such as length, upper-case and lower-case letters.
• Passwords shouldn't contain dictionary and/or foreign words.
[top]
How to generate really random passwords
There are many examples of "random" password generator programs on the Internet but many programs do not generate random characters in a way that insures strong security.
Computer programming languages include functions that can generate random numbers. Such library functions often have poor statistical properties and some will repeat patterns after only tens of thousands of trials. Library functions are often initialized based on computer's clock. Of course these library functions for generating random numbers may provide enough randomness for some simple tasks but they can't provide high-quality randomness.
My Password Generator uses strong algorithm to generate random passwords. My Password Generator uses Universal Random Number Generator (URAND) algorithm to generate secure password. Universal Random Number Generator (URAND) is a subroutine for generating uniformly-distributed floating-point numbers in the interval (0,1). URAND is guaranteed to have a full-length cycle.

How to keep passwords safe
Tips to keep passwords safe
• Use different passwords for each account.
You should use different usernames and passwords for each web site and application. That way if one gets compromised, the others are still safe.
• Regularly change your passwords.
You should change your password at least every 30 - 60 days. The more important the password is, the more frequently the password should be changed. Old passwords should not be re-used for a period of 6 months.
• Don't share your passwords with anyone.
• Keep your passwords secure - never give out your passwords to anyone.
• Do not keep a list of passwords on your desk or in a file on your computer where it can be accessed by others.
• Make sure nobody see the password when you enter it.
• Never send your password over e-mail.
• Do not type passwords on computers that you do not control (e.g. Internet cafes, shared systems). Do not use these computers to check e-mails, bank balances or any other account that requires a user name and password.
