Passwords stand between your family\u2019s gold mine of personal data and the entirety of the internet. While most of us have a love-hate relationship with passwords, it\u2019s beneficial to remember they do serve a powerful purpose when created and treated with intention.<\/p>\n<p>But asking your kids to up their password game is like asking them to recite the state capitals \u2014\u00a0booooring! So, during this first week of May as we celebrate World Password Day, add a dash of fun to the mix. Encourage your family to test their knowledge with some <a href=\"https:\/\/protectwhatmatters.online\/\">Cybersavvy Trivia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Want to find out what kind of password would take <em>two centuries<\/em> to crack? Or, discover the #1 trick thieves use to crack your password? Then <a href=\"https:\/\/protectwhatmatters.online\/\">take the quiz<\/a> and see which family member genuinely knows how to create an awesome password.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve come a long way in our understanding of what makes a strong password and the many ways nefarious strangers crack our most brilliant ones. We know that unique passwords are the hardest to crack, but we also know that human nature means we lean toward creating passwords that are also easy to remember. So striking a balance between <em>strong<\/em> and <em>memorable<\/em> may be the most prudent challenge to issue to your family this year.<\/p>\n<p>Several foundational principles remain when it comes to creating strong passwords. Share them with your family and friends and take some of the worries out of password strength once and for all.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5 Password Power Principles<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Unique = power.<\/strong> A strong password includes numbers, lowercase and uppercase letters, and symbols. The more complicated your password is, the more difficult it will be to crack. Another option is a password that is a\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-88737\" src=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_620160182-300x211.jpg\" alt=\"Strong Password\" width=\"360\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_620160182-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_620160182-768x540.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_620160182-711x500.jpg 711w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/shutterstock_620160182.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/>passphrase only you could know. For instance, look across the room and what do you see? I can see my dog. Only I know her personality; her likes and dislikes. So, a possible password for me might be <em>#BaconDoodle$<\/em>. You can even throw in a misspelling of your password to increase its strength such as <em>Passwurd4Life<\/em>. Just be sure to remember your intentional typos if you choose this option.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Diverse = power.<\/strong> Mixing up your passwords for different websites, apps, and accounts can be a hassle to remember but it\u2019s necessary for online security. Try to use different passwords for online accounts so that if one account is compromised, several accounts aren\u2019t put in jeopardy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Password manager = power.<\/strong> Working in conjunction with our #2 tip, forget about remembering every password for every account. Let a password manager do the hard work for you. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truekey.com\/\">password manager<\/a> is a tech tool for generating and storing passwords, so you don\u2019t have to. It will also auto-log you onto frequently visited sites.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Private = power.<\/strong> The strongest password is the one that\u2019s kept private. Kids especially like to share passwords as a sign of loyalty between friends. They also share passwords to allow friends to take over their Snapchat streaks if they can\u2019t log on each day. This is an unwise practice that can easily backfire.

Multiple login steps can make a huge difference in securing important online accounts. Sometimes the steps can be a password plus a text confirmation or a PIN plus a fingerprint. These steps help keep the bad guys out even if they happen to gain access to your password.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It\u2019s a lot to manage, this digital life but once you\u2019ve got the safety basics down, you can enjoy all the benefits of online life without the worry of your information getting into the wrong hands.
