Creating strong

passwords

 

The easiest way for someone to access your personal information is by guessing or stealing your passwords, so make them as strong as possible and keep them secure.

What makes a strong password?

Long

If it is more than eight characters, it will be harder to guess

Random

Avoid using common words that you could find in a dictionary

Complex

Made up of a mix of letters, numbers and symbols

Easy to remember

Create a password based on a phrase that is easy for you to remember, but hard for anyone else (especially a computer) to guess

Unique

Use different passwords for different websites and online services

Difficult to guess

Don’t use obvious names, dates of birth, sequences or phone numbers

Passwords Checklist

  • Don't write your passwords down or store them on your computer. If you must record it somewhere, make sure it's disguised.
  • Never share your password with anyone, even family members.
  • Don’t click ‘remember this password’ on your browser, and make sure you’ log off when you’re finished.
  • Use a password manager such as KeePass, LastPass, Dashlane or 1Password if you have trouble memorising complex passwords.
  • If you think your login details to a secure site have been lost or stolen, alert the company immediately.
