However, despite this key advantage, there are many organizations out there that still opt to have workers manually create their own passwords.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With that, these passwords should be difficult to crack (according to your Security Policy that has been set forth). There are also certain guidelines that need to be followed in order to create robust passwords.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>How to Create a Strong Password<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>1. Stay away from creating these kinds of passwords:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Password and 1111: \u00a0Believe it or not, there is a strong tendency amongst workers to use these kinds of passwords. After all, they\u2019re easy to remember, right?<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">&#8211;<\/span><br \/>\nYes, they are, but these are the types of passwords that the Cyber attacker will go after. Make sure that your workers\u00a0<b><i>do not create these kinds of passwords under any circumstances<\/i><\/b>.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">&#8211;<\/span><\/li>\n<li>John1969: \u00a0People think that when they use a combination of words and numbers a strong password has been created.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">&#8211;<\/span><br \/>\nTheoretically this is true, but in these instances, workers tend to use their first or last name, as well as their birthdate or graduation year. \u00a0The Cyber attacker will more that likely be well aware of this. Which will lead to a hack into these kinds of passwords with the greatest of ease.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">&#8211;<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Jane is the sister of John Doe, and JaneDoe is the newly created password: Very often, workers will tend to use the name of a close relative, like the one used in this example.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">&#8211;<\/span><br \/>\nWhile it is a stronger password, a \u201cdictionary\u201d attack launched by a Cyber attacker can guess this kind of password very easily.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">&#8211;<\/span><\/li>\n<li>A real-world example of poorly created passwords: \u00a0Adobe Corporation is well known for the Cyber-attacks that it has come under, and a lot of it had to do with the weak passwords which were created &#8211; passwords such as:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">admin<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">photoshop<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">adobe1<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">macromedia<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. The newly created password should contain a minimum length of characters:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most workers create passwords that are just 6-8 characters long, so that they will be easy to remember. However, your Security Policies should mandate that newly created passwords should be <em>at least 10-15 characters in length<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-954\" src=\"https:\/\/media-moon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/passwordeasy-300x143.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-moon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/passwordeasy-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-moon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/passwordeasy-150x72.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media-moon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/passwordeasy-640x306.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media-moon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/passwordeasy.jpg 690w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Be sure to include a mix of characters:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means using a good combination of uppercase and lower case letters, punctuation marks, numbers, as well as other special symbols (such as using [, ], {, }, _, -, ^, \/, , =, +, %, #, (, ), $, and @). <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good example of this is: B1gH0u$3*123.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>4. Avoid using dictionary-based words:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we said above, a Dictionary based Cyber-attack literally looks for passwords that have come from the dictionary. \u00a0A prime example of this is the word \u201chouse\u201d. Also, don\u2019t use a combination of dictionary words, such as \u201cbluehouse\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Do not use obvious substitutions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although we have stated that you should use a mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters, it is also important to remember <\/span><em><b>not to create obvious substitutions<\/b><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as well. \u00a0For example, you don\u2019t want to start with creating the password \u201chouse\u201d as \u201chOuse\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Never use the same password again:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have your workers keep creating brand new passwords each and every time that they are required to do so. \u00a0It is tempting to reuse the last password because it is easy to remember. Once again, however, refrain from having your workers doing so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Be creative:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to note that a password should not just be a \u201cword\u201d. \u00a0Rather, it can also be a long phrase that is easy to remember.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, think about some of your favorite sayings or phrases, and make those into a long password. \u00a0Here are some examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2BorNot2B_ThatIsThe?\u00a0 \u00a0(To be or not to be, that is the question &#8211; from Shakespeare)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">L8r_L8rNot2day\u00a0 \u00a0(Later, later, not today &#8211; from the kids rhyme)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4Score&amp;7yrsAgo\u00a0 \u00a0(Four score and seven years ago &#8211; from the Gettysburg Address)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">John3:16=4G\u00a0 \u00a0(Scriptural reference)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">14A&amp;A41dumaS\u00a0 \u00a0(one for all and all for 1 &#8211; from The Three Musketeers, by Dumas)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or, to have some fun with it, create passwords based on some of the websites that you <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">frequently visit. \u00a0Here are some more examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ABT2_uz_AMZ!\u00a0 \u00a0(About to use Amazon)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ABT2_uz_BoA!\u00a0 \u00a0(About to use Bank of America)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pwrd4Acct-$$\u00a0 \u00a0(Password for account at bank)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pwrd4Acct-Fb\u00a0 \u00a0(Password for account at Facebook)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be ultimately creative, create a password based upon a pattern that you imagine on your computer keyboard:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1qazdrfvgy7<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This password is actually the pattern W \u201cdrawn\u201d on the keyboard:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-952 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media-moon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/keyboard-password.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"266\" height=\"153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-moon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/keyboard-password.png 266w, https:\/\/media-moon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/keyboard-password-150x86.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to remember that your Security Policies need to reflect what specifically constitutes a strong and secure password. Once this has been formulated, you also need to motivate your workers to create these kinds of passwords.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best thing to do for this is to have direct training sessions with them. Creating a long and hard to guess password is one of the least favorite chores of any worker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned, have fun with it, or perhaps even have a contest as to who comes up with the most creative password.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">**Of course, this should be done for passwords that have been <\/span><em><b>previously used, not for current ones<\/b><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hacking passwords will always be one of the first targets for a Cyber attacker, and there is no doubt that this will be a daunting task for you, the business owner, to keep ahead of.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Passwords have been and will continue to be around for a long time. There\u00a0are new alternative technologies like Biometric Technology that are currently being used in small phases. \u00a0This topic will be covered in a future blog.
