Password Generator
Password Generator
Modern computing power allows an eight-character alphanumeric password to be cracked in just a few hours. Have you ever wondered how you might unintentionally make a hacker’s job easier? Then use important names, dates, and keyboard sequences like “qwerty” or “123456.” If you save passwords in your browser, you also become an easy target. That’s why it’s no surprise to me that between 2016 and 2021, 24,649,096,027 usernames and passwords were exposed on the Dark Web (source: Digital Shadows). Some of these are duplicates, but the total number is still staggering—24 billion!
How to Minimize the Risks?
The most secure way to protect your information is to store it in your head. Getting into your brain is difficult, but accessing your computer or gadget is just a matter of time.
Can’t come up with something creative? Below is a tool from DEEPRISM that randomly generates passwords from twelve to thirty-two characters. All you need to do is write the combination down on paper or a secure electronic device, change a couple of characters to avoid compromise, and memorize it.
It is recommended to change passwords at least once a year.
