Password Tips

Here’s a good one from LifeHacker.  Afraid your password isn’t very cryptic and are in the market for a new one?  Here’s a great idea…if you are going to go with an obvious password like your kids name or something similar, just move your fingers over one key on your keyboard:

If you want a secure password without having to remember anything complex, try shifting your fingers one set of keys to the right. It will make your password look like gibberish, will often add in punctuation marks, and is quick and simple.

This way, you can remember the simple passwords, however, the bad guys cannot!  Some very similar passwords using this trick:

  • password => [sddeptf
  • letmein => ;ry,rom
  • money => .pmru
  • love => ;pbr
  • jeremyisawesome => krtr,yodserdp,e

It’s so crazy, it just may work!
