How to create a safe and memorable password

Creating a safe password 

To keep yourself and your data safe, the first line of defense is to select a strong password yet which is easy for you to remember. It sounds like a common sense to choose a powerful password, but still many of us fail at doing so. There is a pressing need to choose a good password because hackers have become increasingly sophisticated at password cracking. What may have been considered a strong password a year or even a month ago, may now be an open door inviting people, leading to your data being breached. Internet security is based on weakest link principle. Amid of all these insecurities, it ain't impossible for anyone to choose a strong password. Here are some Do's and Don't's that you can follow to choose a strong password.

Do's

1. Use alpha-numeric characters. When your password contains both alphabets and numeric characters, it becomes quite difficult for someone to make a guess of your password.
2. Use a mix of upper-case and lower-case letters. Since passwords are case sensitive so even if someone makes a correct guess of your password, case-sensitiveness can keep your password secure. For example if you select any password, consider blackhorse. You can use some uppercase letters and keep your password as BlacKhorse.
3. Use symbols. While some systems don't allow their users to use symbols in passwords, you can use symbols if your system allows (space should not be considered as a symbol). This will make your password even more secure. For example- <BlacKhorse>
4. Use a deliberately misspelled term. These kind of terms make your passwords even more secure. If you have chosen your passwords as BlacKhorse, to keep it more secure you may use the term BlecKhoarse.

Don't's

1. Do not choose your name/ friend's name/ any contact number as your password.
2. Passwords smaller than at least eight characters.
3. Don't reuse same password for multiple accounts. Follow the principle; one account-one password.
4. Do not use passwords mentioned in this or any other tutorial.

So what will be the consequences when you don't have strong password ? At first stage, the one gets your password will be able to read your messages, e-mails, can access your bank accounts and stats. At succeeding stage, they can hack your friend's or anyones's account if you have networked them. And the last yet the most destructive one, they can perform many illegal or ineligible stuff in your name thereby flipping your image from an innocent person to a culprit.
