Is it me or does it seem like\u00a0we are accumulating more and more passwords everyday. \u00a0From work to school to our personal life, we are constantly creating new accounts and passwords that we have to remember. \u00a0The world is online and with it a requirement to create an account with every site you visit. \u00a0We have accounts for basically everything we need; online banking, shopping, gaming, social networks, educations, mobile apps, loans, mortgages, and privileged account for systems at work. \u00a0How do we remember it all? As a student in the ITACS program, we know better than to write it down or even worst, put it on a sticky note under our laptop. \u00a0 Fortunately for us, some systems may have Single-Sign on, like mobile apps where you can sign on using your Facebook account, or Two-Factor Authentication where we have to carry a physical device. At the end of the day we still have to remember some passwords and of course we do not want to use the same passwords for every account. \u00a0To add on to this problem, passwords requirements are becoming more complex. \u00a0Rules such as 1 upper case, 1 lower case, special characters, and no dictionary words makes it even more difficult to remember passwords.<\/p>\n
There are programs out there like Secure Password Manager, or Keeper that allows you to store your passwords with another password which doesn’t seem to solve our issue. \u00a0What happen if these service providers get hacked, now all of our accounts are at risk. \u00a0I’ve recently read an article that made REMEMBERING password a little easier. \u00a0It basically said to think of a sentence and use that sentence to help create a password that you can remember while meeting password criteria. \u00a0For example: I bought my daughter first dog for 200 dollar . \u00a0My password would be “Ibmd1stdf200$” \u00a0By using the first letter of each word and replacing first with “1st,” \u00a0I am able to create a password that meets all the password criteria. \u00a0It’s a simple tip, but I never thought about it until I read this article.<\/p>\n
