There are 5 simple rules to create a strong password. It should have the following:<\/p>\n
For example: TrgXups@173# would be a strong password.<\/p>\n
Most people write them down somewhere. While this seems like a nice and easy way, it is also the most insecure. What happens if someone gets a hold of that sheet of paper? They would have complete access to all your email, bank accounts, investment accounts and more. If you are going to write down your passwords, keep that sheet safe!<\/p>\n
iPhone\/iPad\/Mac users have a built in Notes app. I\u2019ve seen countless individuals entering all their usernames and passwords in Notes. This means the moment you hand over your unlocked iPhone to another person for any reason (even just to make a call) they will have unrestricted access to your Notes app in which all your passwords are present. Thankfully Apple has realised that the Notes app needs to be protected. You can now \u201clock\u201d a note. Simply slide from right to left on a note and it will show a padlock icon. Tap the padlock icon and set a password for that note. The note can be unlocked with Touch ID or Face ID as well.<\/p>\n
The concept of such an app is that you must remember only a single password (so make sure it\u2019s extremely strong!). Once you enter that password, all other usernames and passwords are saved in an organised manner within the app. The most popular app is 1Password. It is available for both iOS and Android. Try it out!<\/p>\n
