Digital Security Issues: Use the Same Password Always

 I always use the same password for all my accounts and applications. I do not like to use complicated passwords because it is difficult to remember and too long. What do you think?

This link is to a page for solutions.

Using the same password for all your accounts is extremely risky. Is have poor security and one service can compromise all.

Is better to Writing in paper or in a notebook, that can you see is it necessary.

You can save your passwords with your Gmail accounts. That you have your passwords in the Gmail accounts.
Or you can use more longer password and simple that you can remember.

Another is to use a Manager of passwords to remember and generate strong passwords. That the only password that you need to remember is the password to the Manager of passwords.

Other alternative to Manager of passwords is to use a Algorithm, by "Algorithm " i mean a set of rules that you use each time you create a password, that you can use to remember all the passwords.

For example:

  • The first three letters of the site URL for which you are creating a password
  • The first three characters of the name of your first pet spelled backward
  • Your age on your birthday in the year 2010 + a number like 333
  • Three characters indicating what the site is about – perhaps “ban” for bank, “ema” for email, and so on – with the first letter capitalised.
  • If the service requires it, a special character at a standard location. Perhaps a “#” the end.
According to those rules, my Gmail password might be "goons386Ema#"
