How not to forget the password and make it "strong"

In fact, the theme is quite exciting battles and on this occasion erupt one after another. In fact the man who is active, and the rest "on the Net" must memorize a bunch of passwords to the resources well, or to trust a program that will remember passwords for it. This option is acceptable, but we also know examples of how even the most "protected" services were hacked. Because I would still recommend not to store passwords to mission-critical resources, together with all the others.

But beyond passwords to resources is such an old and almost forgotten a thing as the password. And in this case caught my eye council about "remembering" passwords for each of the files I really liked.

The author proposes to encode the password directly in the file name. For example the symbol "#" can mean a number of apartments, "@" - the dog's name, etc. As a result, your password can be the "Barbos_23" and the file name - "secret archive @ _ # zip.». You catch the essence? It is not necessary to remember the password, and key values, which is better to have more, otherwise the system at breaking the first code will give the keys to all other files.

If we talk about the "power" password, then there's probably wise to talk about using special generators is guaranteed a good solution. However, this method ensures you and what to remember the password is not just difficult, but very difficult. If you want to remember - use something of their own, but as is the case with passwords to files - should make multi-component system, to the selection of a password is not given a key to another.

For example, you can use the resource name in Russian transcription, as a base, adding the date of registration in the reverse order. Or to gain a simple and memorable to you the word, but with a shift on the keyboard - that is, instead of the "o" - "l", etc. In addition, you can go to children's and "hacker" reception and replace "1" to «!», «L» to "1" and etc.

However, such a simple replacement allows you to get the key to all your passwords, so you definitely need a part, which a) does not encode this key, b) easily comes to mind at the sight of the resource) is not a word widely-spoken languages.

Immediately, I note that you should not hope that the Russian word in the English layout - a good way to confuse the attacker. The programs sharpened to break passwords using brute-force the entire Russian Dictionary is usually tested in both layouts. Like this.

Share and how else can you remember and come up with passwords? Those who trust in the program and can not remember, you can not comment on it other topic articles.
