Step (2) Always you should test the strength of your password before creating any password. And this is not any difficult task to test the strength of password. You can easily test using the pages like “How Strong Is Your Password” or “How Secure Is My Password”. Don’t worry about the security these sites are managed by Intel and it will also show you the detail of - how long it will take a hacker to crack your password that you are testing.

Step (3) Most important thing - make sure that the passwords of your email and other social networking accounts are completely different from the password of your bank, ATM, PayPal or other accounts by which you make any transaction. Because to keep your money accounts more protected is most important task. Even do not use the same letter or numerical combinations also.
(For instance, if you are using the password “central1213″ for your Gmail account, then please do not use “motion1213″ or “central2123″ for other accounts. It’s because the use of “1213″ and “central” on both the accounts will make them very easy to hack.)

Step (4) Many people recommend that always you should use a nice combination of letters, numbers, symbols and punctuation marks in creating strong passwords. But I personally think and realize that it will be very difficult to remembering the passwords of this type of combination. So, the use of phrases and affixing letters from the related site will be very easy to remember.
(For instance, instead of using the password like “AX9j@S”, you can use the password like “My!Twtr&Garage” or something that is memory retaining.
(For instance, instead of using the password like “AX9j@S”, you can use the password like “My!Twtr&Garage” or something that is memory retaining.
Step (5) Most of the online accounts and services providing the option of 2-step verification. So you should enable the 2-step verification for email accounts. You can see that Google accounts and also Yahoo, have included the option of 2-step verification for more security. When you will enter your phone number then 4 or 5 digit code will be sent on your mobile. You have to just put this code in box provided space then your account will be protected. (You have both options for verification text or voice message.)
