tweets 0 Posted April 14, 2010 there has been a lot of account hacking lately. the biggest reason for that are weak passwords.now, here's a tutorial how to make your password strong.1) choose a phrase, sentence or a word that has about 10 or more lettersfor an example i'll take this:cute small green doormat- avoid your name, names of people who are close to you etc. - choose random words!then misspell some words (eg. doormat - dormat, small - smol)cute smol green dormat[b]2) replace some letters with numbers[/b] (eg: I=1, s=2, e=3, a=4, t=7 o=0) that visually look a bit like those letterscu73 sm0l gr33n d0rm4t[b]3) on every few characters, add a [size=24]. or a space (or remove a space)[/size][/b]cu.73.sm0l gr3.3n .d0.rm.4t[b]4) add some random characters to it, and make some letters big, some small.[/b]cU.73.sm0Ly gr3.3n d0.Rm.4tQand there you go - from ''cute small green doormat'' you get a much stronger password ''cU.73.sm0Ly gr3.3n d0.Rm.4tQ'' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
