IV. Security
IV.I - When a hacker attempts to hack a password it is impossible for them to hack it if you follow all our advice. A typical hack is called a dictionary hack, the hacker attempts every word possible. This includes words with letters changed to number for example p4ssword.
Things NOT to do when picking a password
IV.II - Use a dictionary word, for example the word oranges, this will be easily hacked.
IV.III - Use a password which is the same as your username. For example the
username is admin and password is admin.
IV.IV - Use an easily guessed password, for example your name (first and/or last), DOB, where you live etc.
IV.V - Put password as the password, come on guys! In 2008 password is STILL the most used password across the web!
IV.VI- Use common passwords, these include, password, 123456, qwerty, abc123, monkey, password 1 etc... These are the first tried words by a hacker!
V. Things to DO when picking a password
V.I - Use a random password which has no meaning to you, not a short password like g5s but use a long one, all of our passwords are over (INSERT) characters long.
V.II - Use letters, numbers and symbols.
V.III - Use both Lower case and Upper case.
V.III - Do not use the same password for everything, but if you're a person who doesn't want to memorize and remember different passwords, it is up to you...
V.IV - An example of a perfect password would be G6s%^'#)0g. Yes it is hard to remember but it is better than losing your account! Write it down, or use firefox or chrome which stores passwords for you.
*MORE RULES TO BE UPDATED*
Thank you for reading,
We are not trying to scare any of you, the majority of you are unaffected by this however if your password does have some of our, 'what not to do', then change it today and keep your account safe! Do not waste all your hard work because you are too lazy to think of a good password.
