Where is it safe to store passwords?

You can keep your password for free in many popular web browsers like Chrome, Microsoft Edge. This is one of the easiest ways. Especially when the browser itself gives you a notification whether you need to save your password.
Another way is password managers, they save your passwords in encrypted form. The password managers that are good work on both your computer and mobile. For security purposes, password managers and web browsers use a master password to access the stored password.

How do I get a unique password?

Try to create a password having a combination of lowercase, uppercase, number, and some special characters. Using only lowercase characters hackers can solve it using 26 options. But using all set you create 96 different options due to which it will be very hard for even a computer to find the right password.

How to secure your password and create a password?

You should follow the above-mentioned steps for creating a better password.

1. Try to choose a long password

If you can’t remember hard and tricky passwords try to use some long passwords. Because long passwords require more guesses rather than small but difficult passwords.
You might have noticed that financial institutions like banks and money transaction apps ask you for a combination of at least one special, number, upper and lower case characters which automatically increases the length of the password.

Many people use “password” as their password. This is one of the easiest guesses for any human as well as a computer. While creating a password keep these points in mind

  1. Never use your personal information like Name, phone no, Date of birth, bank account no, vehicle registration no, family member name, address and etc
