Remembering your password is an art

It is better to keep a short pencil rather keeping a long memory. This quotation is by Shakespear. During Shakespear time there was no computer so no need to use passwords in applications. Now the scenario is different, one have to remember lot of passwords but one does not have to be a memory world champion such as Cornelia Beddies, in order to be able to note passwords. The memorizing password looks an art in these days.

Always use the password which are easy to remember for you and difficult to hack you. The examples may include your mother maiden name and the year of your birth, this would be a good alpha numeric combination and difficult for some one to clue. There may be other combinations too like first school attended and your phone no. etc etc

The password should not be that small in length to be easily guess or hacked by others while it should not be too long  in order to save your time and not burden your memory cells too. I think keeping moderate length of password is enough in order to keep you safe online. One more thing to consider is using the different passwords for your different sites or accounts. Suppose you are using only one password with your email account and bank account and the password has been hacked or cracked, which means the two accounts can be hacked with one time and if the same password is in being used in different accounts then the whole of your accounts are in the hands of hackers. So it is important for you to make few passwords and memorise them in order to use in your different accounts. These passwords can be alter and use reciprocally in different accounts in future.
