Page 11 - Account Security Lockdown
P. 11
If you want to have it all done for you, there are plenty of services out there that
will help generate a password for you (along these lines):
https://lastpass.com/generatepassword.php + [ Quick and easy, click a
button and you get an incredibly random and safe to use password. ]
http://passwordsgenerator.net/ + [ Complex and very customizable. Use
this if you want to step up every bit of your password and even passphrase
security with minimal effort. ]
https://www.random.org/passwords/ + [ Enter some information and click
a button, and you have your randomized password generated. ]
Lastly, sometimes the account registration page found within the sign up process
(for a service) will have a bar that will tell you the security of your password,
graded on a poor, medium, secure scale.
There are even services that require you to have X amount of capital letters,
numbers, and symbols in your password to even proceed with the registration.
So that just enforces the ideal that having a very secure password for not just
your email account, but any account, is the way forward now and in the future.
**IMPORTANT: Never use a universal password for all of your accounts,
meaning using the same password for every account or multiple "meant to be
secure" accounts. Regardless of if it's e-mail or other accounts. Especially for
forums and other registrations.
I will discuss more in depth about this topic later on.
