Password Rules for Administrators

print

Password rules:

• The password must contain uppercase(s), lowercase(s), punctuation mark(s) and number(s).

DO NOT ALLOW USERS TO CREATE/USE A PASSWORD WITH ONLY TEXT AND NUMBERS, because password cracking is so easy with only numebrs and text.

• Use punctuation marks to separate every word in the password. Exemple:

Dura, Lex, Sed, Lex.

Also, you can try this by @raedmasrii on 📷 Instagram (sorry, translation unavaible, language: arab)

• Use some spelling mistake in your password. So if the hacker is trying to crack the password with rainbow tables or dictionnary, he would'nt find the password. Exemple:

Duri Lax Saed Laex

• Change a password after 6-12 months or change it IMMEDIATLY after an attack.

• Dont use a password for different systems or different devices.

• Verify the length of the password (so if the hacker is using brute force, it would take a while).

• Dont use wordsthat are in a dictonnary. So if the hacker is trying to crack the password with rainbow tables or dictionnary, he would'nt find the password.

• Protect the screensaver by password.

• Dont share your password!

• Dont write your password(s) in a an Excel Table for exemple.

Exemple of a really strong password (do not use it! - The password was "dura lex sed lex"):

@Duk4, L5xs, S5df, L5x.f..
