According to 'Norton Cybercrime Report 2012', about 80 Internet users in India are subjected to cybercrime every minute. All global cybercrimes are said to be due to not changing passwords frequently and not using strong complex passswords.
It is advised to change passwords twice a week. But website users find it difficult to create such complex and strong passwords each time; even if they create, they tend to forget them. Experts suggest two options to solve this problem. One of it is to send all the using passwords to one's own email inbox - for retrieving them later, if they forget them. The other one is that seeking the help of password generators such as Online Password Generator and Password Generator. There are drawbacks in these options too! In the first one, the Internet user has to use a strong password for his email account and memorize it; if he forgets it or it is also hacked every using website shall be lost. In the second, the generated passwords are produced after all only online; they can be even monitored and used by hackers in hacking the websites' accounts. So, what is the method still remaining as reliable and foolproof? Nothing! It may be your own new method that you are going to invent and use - like generating passwords in your own method and remembering those passwords in your own method! Share your methods with us :)
