How to Devise Passwords That Drive Hackers Away


                                                 


                According to statistics, hacking into computers and such has risen at an all time high. More and more people are hacking into e-mails, blogs, social websites, etc. This article will prevent statistics from rising anymore. Things to remember while making passwords for websites:

Forget the Dictionary: Do not use basic words or even your simple name.

Never use the same password twice: Doing so can increase your chances of getting hacked because if a person hacks into one account they can hack into another.
 
Come up with a passphrase: The longer your password, the longer it will take to crack. A password should ideally be 14 characters or more in length if you want to make it untraceable.

Store your passwords securely: Doing so will lessen the chances of a hacker finding your passwords list which will obviously prevent hacking into your sites.
