Everyone tells you that you need a secure password.\u00a0 You shouldn\u2019t even use 1-2-3-4-5 for your luggage (Yes SpaceBalls reference!).\u00a0 Actually, you need a unique\u00a0secure password<\/em> for every website you login to!\u00a0 WHAT THE BLEEP<\/strong> !!!!<\/p>\n

Seriously, how in bleeping smurfs<\/em> can one person remember all those passwords?\u00a0 Impossible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Secure<\/a>Of course, you can buy software.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure the software is good and there are great reviews.\u00a0 Top tech reviewers and reporters talk about these password softwares. But with companies selling identities and being bought out left and right, I think I\u2019ll keep my passwords a little closer to ME!\u00a0 That is just my tech sense!<\/em><\/p>\n

In my up coming Online Safety book, (yes it is coming soon\u2026 and I\u2019m so excited!!<\/em>)\u00a0 I go through in detail an entire password management solution<\/strong> that is easy to use.<\/p>\n

Here is a bit of a sneak peek on how to create an easy to remember secure password. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

In my book, there are two ways to create a secure but easy to remember password.\u00a0 We are talking about one way today.\u00a0 This way is using abbreviations<\/strong>.\u00a0 Some of my clients love this method.<\/p>\n

We are going to take something you see everyday and turn it into a secure password:<\/p>\n

350Fanycny10118 is a secure password.\u00a0 According to Intel Password Tool<\/a> it will take 6 years to hack.\u00a0 This is actually the address for the Empire State Building:<\/p>\n

350 Fifth Avenue NYC, NY 10118<\/p>\n

All I did was take the numbers and the first letter from the address to get \u00a0350Fanycny10118.<\/p>\n

\u00a0With abbreviations, we can have poems, signs and even famous movie quotes like:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse.” This famous Godfather(1972)<\/em><\/a> Quote becomes Igtmhaohcrgf1972.\u00a0 I\u2019d like to see someone guess that password, I don\u2019t think Don Vito Corleone would like that very much. He\u2019d be happy to know it would take over 8,000 years before someone can crack the password. (Again according to Intel Password Tool<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Taking addresses and movie quotes and making them into secure passwords is very easy. Think about phrases and places that you know.\u00a0 What places and quotes are dear to your heart?\u00a0 Abbreviate them.\u00a0 Add a numbers if none are in the abbreviation. In some cases you do need a symbol. \u00a0You can easily add a dash, questions mark or exclamation point in the middle or end of the password.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now once you have the main password, you can easily add a letter to the end of it to make it unique per website.<\/h3>\n

Igtmhaohcrgf1972f would be for Facebook, while Igtmhaohcrgf1972t would be for twitter.<\/p>\n

These passwords are different and it would be hard for anyone to use them for both sites.<\/p>\n

This has been a quick and easy way to create a secure and easy to remember password<\/strong>.\u00a0 There are other ways, but I find a lot of my clients love this since it\u2019s fun and personal. They get to be creative and use something on many websites that makes them SMILE.<\/p>\n
