scammers hackers and spammers are all
trying to gain access to your accounts
they have thousands of ways to trick you
so your initial line of defense is a
fortified password they won’t be able to
crack in this project we’re exploring
six digital life hacks for building
strong and secure pass codes
[Music]
let’s start this project by grabbing a
pen and a piece of paper this will give
us a digital disconnect from any online
intruders we need a password that’s easy
to remember and super secure that means
it needs a good mix of random letters
numbers and funky symbols now a lot of
websites will let use the space bar as a
special character so that means you can
use full sentences
why use a password when you can use a
passphrase come up with a statement like
I want to be 23 something like this is
super easy to remember and check out
what you’ve done you now have a 16
character password with a capital letter
8 lowercase letters to numbers and 5
special characters by making a
passphrase you exponentially boost your
protection even if it’s one as simple as
this to make an original and completely
randomized password make 3 columns and
write down the categories who what and
when now fill in the blanks and remember
that the crazier the idea the better be
specific with dates and times and
develop it into a sentence with full
punctuation I’m training with Ironman at
8 a.m. on Friday now simply take the
first character of each word and you end
up with an incredibly strong password
it’s easy to remember and virtually
uncrackable another example could be
something like next year I’m going to
Hawaii
on March 5th these memorable passwords
are 10 characters long completely
randomized and have a great mix of
numbers special characters and letters
in both upper and lower case think of
your favorite movies songs or TV shows
and use the quotes and lyrics as
inspiration if you got I’ll be there for
you
from a TV theme song try switching for
you into the number 4 and a capital u
your password is I’ll be there for you
with an exclamation point it’s a 17
character passcode that’s easy to type
easy to remember and has all the
essential elements to keep you protected
now some accounts won’t let you have
spaces in the password that’s no problem
just take out the spaces and it’ll work
just fine trying to memorize dozens of
passwords is too hard to keep things
simple many people use the same password
for most of their accounts when a hacker
discovers one of your pad
swards and it’s the same password for
your bank account your personal
information and your email you can
imagine how that’s going to affect your
day there are at least three different
categories where you need to have
different passwords banking
entertainment and email try remembering
them like this it’s One for the Money
two for the friends three for the email
things you send each password should be
around 10 to 12 characters and be
completely different you could use the
same password for similar sites but to
make it even better try taking some of
the letters from the website itself and
adding them in from Twitter you could
get T and R and YouTube might be Y and T
choose letters that you can remember and
if you’re ever forced to update your
password just add one more letter to the
end it’s as easy as that
the most secure protection comes with
having a long and randomized password
for every different account this will
take more work to create and chances are
you won’t be able to remember them you
can win that challenge by writing them
down on one piece of paper and storing
that paper in a place you’re going to
protect like your wallet for quick and
easy access or a super-secret safe like
the one we made in a previous project
now if you like the idea of different
passwords for each account but don’t
want to get your paper out every time
you log in there are password managing
systems that can do it for you password
vaults like these will store all your
passwords securely maintaining full
protection and allowing you the speed
and luxury of a one-click log in to any
of your sites well now you know how to
make a strong and secure password that
will Ford a hacker and help protect your
digital life by the way if you’ve
already been hacked or feel like you
might be vulnerable check the video
description for some helpful hints if
you like this project perhaps you’ll
like some of my others check them out at
