Password Management

Most of us might have faced situations when we are unable to remember the damn password that we gave. Stuck! Not now, after you read this 

Choosing passwords is very important as it should be hack-safe. For eg, if you use your (or your girl/boy friend’s) name as the password, it can be easily guessed or hacked as many tools use name-dictionaries along with common dictionary words as a feed to break the password.

To keep everything in control, just follow a few easy steps:
Choose a base for the password. Any word or a combination of words of 8-24 characters is idle. For example, let me choose ‘raresouls’ (rare souls) as a base for my password.

Next, replace the alphabets with similar looking number – like – replace I by 1; S by 5; O by 0; B by 8 and so on (use a bit of imagination/phonetic alphabets here).
After applying this, my password becomes ‘r9re504l5’. Let me call it final-base and this one seems to be damn strong.

Again, using the same password everywhere is a risk and using different passwords is not convenient. So, how do we solve this problem?

Just add a prefix and suffix to the final-base for every account you give the password.
For eg, suppose I was to use my password for a Gmail account, I would give ‘gmr9re504l5ail’ (to break up final-base - final-base between gmail - here its like gm-r9re504l5-ail ).

Have a rule about giving prefix and suffix. Like say, for prefix, give first 2 characters of the site-name and for suffix, next 3 characters following prefix.

That’s all!!
