An expert revealed the secrets of creating a strong password for maximum data protection

The expert talked about the rules for creating strong passwords. The main rule is length: the password should contain at least 12 characters, including letters of different cases, numbers and special characters. Avoid easily guessable data (name, date of birth, phone number) and common combinations like “qwerty” or “123456”.

What else is known

It is important to use a unique password for each service. Hacking one account with a common password can compromise all others. Bolshakov recommends changing passwords every 3-6 months and using the browser's ability to save and remind you of outdated passwords.

To simplify the process of generating and storing complex passwords, you can use specialized applications and online services, choosing trusted developers. However, the expert emphasizes the difficulty of remembering generated passwords and the possible risk of information leakage. An alternative is to use password managers like LastPass, 1Password, and KeePass, which store all your passwords in an encrypted form protected by a master password.

An expert warns that storing passwords on stickers or under your keyboard is extremely risky. This is the easiest way for attackers to gain access to a system, as shown in professional pentests. Such negligence can lead to a serious compromise of the organization's security.
