How Can I Create A Secure Password?

Social Engineering app icon and Brute Force app icon are popular ways for hackers to gain access to your account. Here are additional guidelines to help make your password even more secure:

  • Use a longer password. Longer passwords are generally more secure than shorter passwords.
  • Mix, match, and replace letters for numbers or special characters (such as using '@' for 'a').
  • Avoid commonly used passwords and password variations (such as 'password12!' or 'admin123!').
  • Avoid using passwords that match well-known information about yourself (such as your last name).
  • Make your password memorable so that you do not have to save it in your browser. Anyone with direct access to your computer can locate your saved passwords.

How Can I Make My Secure Password Easier To Remember?

Recording your password anywhere (such as writing it down on a piece of paper, typing it into a text file on your computer, or saving it to your computer browser) can increase the risk of your password becoming compromised. Creating a memorable password can help increase its security because you will not need to record it anywhere. Here are some ideas you can use to make your secure password more memorable:

  • Consider using an entire phrase for your password (example: 'TheChickenCame-1st')
  • Consider trading out regular letters for special characters (example: 'Th33ggC@m3F1rst')
  • Consider logging in to your Network Solutions Dashboard regularly.
