Good password/Security

[Lucky Strike 0]

There is a guide already here made by Tweet40

But I would like to add something.

First of all you should know how a password works when someone tries to find it.
1) Facebook now after some tries that are invalid pops up a message saying that you have to identify your self if this is you. You can try to change the password or go through that.
If they try to change the password there will be sent a link and a confirmation code (aka reset code) to your E-MAIL account (I will say more about this later on).
If they try to answer the questions (can't remember the number but i think there are either or 10) you can only skip 2 that will be replaced -if i remember well- and you have to have them ALL correct. All of the questions are usually about your friends so to go through that you have to know the other person really well. After that I think you have to re-enter the password but I have to confirm that.
It's practicaly impossible to have them all correct by luck.

2) Usually no-one tries to find the password but they are trying to change it. Even if you ran a program it will take MONTHS with a VERY strong computer/s to find it and again it will be very hard due to other reasons. They usually try to work around it. I have no idea how this is done but it takes a really good hacker and it can be done usually (atleast until now) either through your own computer or through your network (so they have to be close to you) by hacking it (hijacking it actually) which is not always easy. Anyway the are a few ways for this to be done but almost no-one will do it.

Needless to say if it's hacked it's usually someone that knows you OR you have a very simple password and someone has picked on that

3) Another way is to try to hack the e-mail and change the pass. It's the easier way for this to be done and usually (if it's a "stranger") how it happens. ALWAYS have security questions AND a secondary e-mail that NO-ONE knows about and again with security questions.
It's important to remember that on the questions you MUST use a not common one and for extra safety the answer must be off topic. (i think you can use a secondary e-mail address for facebook as well)

Now let's go to how to make your pass strong.
A) always use CAPITAL and small letters in rAndoM OrdEr LikE tHis or something a little simpler, numbers, gaps/spaces AND symbols (.,/!@#$%^&*()~<>?) mixed. REMEMBER that some sites don't accept symbols or gaps/spaces so you will have to use the other available things.
B) try not to use something simple like a2c3b5, 123456, your name, your e-mail address (again some sites don't allow some of those things as they are of a very high hack danger)
C) avoid things that people close to you know (usually the hacker will be someone that you are talking with)

I want to close this by saying something. NOTHING IS UN-HACKABLE! And i mean NOTHING! All you can do is MINIMIZE as much as possible the chances of something like this happening to you.
Be aware of anyone you know and no-matter what don't give them your password or clues that may help them find it!
Use different passwords for each site you subscribe or to sites that you don't care about simply put the same password and a secondary (just for things like that) e-mail address.
Change your password every once in a while.

And keep something in mind! If your security is NOT easy you minimize extremely much the chances of someone trying to do it. On top of that if they are THAT good they will only do it out of spite which means that you know them OR you just hit the bad luck jackpot with a combination of 10 out of 100 numbers!!! If it's for an online game (facebook like) the will probably simply hack the item itself that go through aaaaaaaaaall this trouble just to get almost nothing compare to what they can do in the same time. If though someone wants to hack you for another reason you'll know who it is.. Oh! I forgot to mention! People out of spite if they can't hack you but they simply want to "throw" you out of the game/facebook/etc they can report you for a valid/semi-valid/fixed reason and manage to make it stick! So please be truthful just in case anyone tries to do that since we all know how facebook works.

And last.. Don't worry too much! Do your best and have fun! If it's going to happen it will happen no matter what.. Just be aware and cautious and you'll be just fine!
And.. STAY AWAY FROM SUSPICIOUS SITES OR FISHING E-MAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


edit: please don't give out your e-mail address!!! Without it it's practically almost impossible for anything to go wrong! Hide it from facebook as well from the privacy settings

Positive added, it is necesary all people take precautions about your passwords and not ever never click on anything even if a friend sends you a link, remeber that your friends may be hacked

Hackers are building pages that are exactly as hotmail, google, facebook look, so its very easy to click on those and being cheated
One of the worst experiences one can have is to see someone has you mail or messenger account

I am very paranoid about my Facebook password. If something comes up then I go and change my password so that nothing can happen. I keep my email private too.

There is no point changing it every two days but this is good
And the e-mail should always be private
