An average internet user
has 5-6 online accounts to manage, it could be account with Facebook, Youtube,Blogger
,Yahoomail and so on.These forces us to have one particular password for all the accounts.

This makes you and i vulnerable to hackers and fraudsters, because if an hacker gets hold of one password then he/she will have access to all the other accounts

So the issue is how to you develop a very strong password,a password that can not be hacked.

----------------How to develop a strong password-------------------------

1-- Don't use words , figures , numbers names events or anything connected to you.

Things you should never use to develop a password,

--- YOUR NAME.

These are very easy passwords which can be easily guessed.

Also never use,

1--- Names of former institution or school.

2---Your account number.

3--- Name of pet.

4---Number of former or present address.

Never use obvious words or figures , like these default numbers like (1234, 0000).

-Try to increase the length of your password, the more varied and twisted it is the harder it takes to be hacked into.

-Never sequential your password , in other words don't use letters or numbers in a sequence form like, (5678 or EFGH).
