We’ve been on the internet for almost 35 years, yet we still haven’t learned our lesson about online passwords. According to a recent security study, the most commonly used web passwords are things like “123456” and “password.” Sure, they’re easy to remember, but that makes them just as easy to hack. And if you use that simple password across multiple accounts, as a reported 92 percent of online users do, that puts all of your data at risk.
This website was created so that users can create a secure password without using any personal information with ease. No personal information is taken or used when creating and the form allows each user to select whatever criteria they like as long as a minimum of 3 categories are selected. You can andom passwords containing an array of different characters or you can generate passwords which are slightly easier to remember but still secure.
You can either use this site to generate your passwords or simply get an idea of what a secure password looks like. This site can also be used to generate a secure pin combination for your tablet or mobile device. Click here for more information on secure passwords.
The more sensitive your information is, the more often you should change your password. Once it is changed, do not use that password again for a very long time. Hackers could keep trying to crack your passwords no matter how strong you make them. Discover will help you to protect your identity by monitoring thousands of risky websites and alert you if they find your social security number. And it’s free for cardmembers who sign up. It won’t solve hacking issues, but it’s a good first step to putting you in the know.
