How To Create A Strong Password

Did your account contained a weak password? If yes, your account might be at risked from hacked by someone. This simple post that teach you how to create a strong password.

A very strong password contained four type of thing, that are:
  1. UPPERCASE letter / Capital letter
  2. lowercase letter / small letter
  3. Number
  4. Symbol
If your password consisted small letters only, your password is weak. Normally, a strong password consisted capital letter, small letter and number. But if you want add symbol into your password, it will created a very strong password(this is a rare case, normally people won't add symbol in password because it is hard to remember).

For example, this is a very strong password: Holo7897*Tot0!!

Don't create a password consist only any word that can found in dictionary, your birthday, and other.

It is only defended from someone who hack through guessing the password but not other hacking technique like phishing, keylogging, virus, social engineering, spyware and other.
