The password protection system is the best way to secure the data online or offline. Created passwords make everything simple and secure but whenever we forget the password it says "password incorrect".

Well creating password is much easier but sometimes recovering makes a serious matter. Password may often the only thing standing between a snoop and your information or money. So we should never do any of these mistakes while creating or after creating a password.

Now we are going to discuss on the most common mistakes you can make while creating or changing passwords. Below are the few simple ways to secure and keep track of all your passwords,

Regular Password Change

We do this normally every 1 month, 6 months or in a year as a practice. As per the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) research it was found that passwords need not be changed on a regular basis because it may lead to re-use of same old password or easy-to-guess password. This may help spammers to guess your password in seconds.

FTC tells that the passwords to be changing only when there is mandatory requirement or else if you have shared your password with somebody.

Short Password

In the past few years, creating a password of 6-8 characters was more than enough for securing the account on any computer. But now the olden computers have gone and latest advanced computers have come up with advance processing speed.

Now many of the online websites have changed the minimum password character count to 8, and beyond 10 or 12 characters are recommended the most.

Simple Password

Creating a 12 character password is not enough to maintain security, if the password is simple like "012345678910..." or "abcdefghijkl..." or dictionary keywords. Because these type of passwords can easily explore your account accessibility.

The strong password means "ABCxyz@!111213", which cannot to traced that much easy by spammers. The password must be a combination of random words or characters or numbers or special symbols.

Unique Password

Using a single unique password for all the accounts may tempt you to use the same for all the other accounts. If the spammers got hold of your password then they can easily breach all your accounts.

You need to create unique password for each account you have or else you have to change some characters or keywords or special symbols to secure your account.  

Writing down Password

Of course, remembering each password is not that much possible for everyone but writing the password in short can help really help you a lot.

Writing in short will never make somebody to understand that it's your account password or can crack.  If you think there might be any problem in writing, you can also store your passwords on some of the best and popular password managers.

Some websites let their users secure the account by giving an option of security question like "Who is your best friend from childhood?" and more. This can also help you to secure the account without being stolen by spammers.
