Here are some useful tips to create a secure password,
- Always go for a long password.(At least 8 or 10 Characters – I normally use 20 to 30)
- Try to use a combination of,
- Upper case
- Lower case
- Special Characters
- Numbers
- Do NOT include a password in emails.
- Use DIFFERENT passwords for different account.
- Always double check the web address before entering a password
- Mostly this happens if you get to a regular site using a link you got in email or any other place.
- Think you are trying to access M1CR0S0FT.COM, but did you see its not actually Microsoft? its spelled M 1(numeric one) CR 0(numeric) S 0(numeric) FT.This can happen to other names as well
- And try not to save passwords in browser.
