During our last class, a classmate was trying to develop a strong password for their WordPress site, but the system was not accepting the passwords they were putting in. I have been there, too, when creating an account, and I’m being asked to create a password with a certain number of characters and symbols. It can be frustrating having to keep putting in new passwords only for it not to be strong enough. However, lucky for me, my mom works with a couple of IT guys who pass on a handy guide to creating the perfect password. My mom then passed it on to me, and then I passed it on to the classmate, and it worked for their WordPress site! What’s the trick, you might ask? Well, it’s super simple. All you need to do is come up with 2 four letter words that are unrelated (if they’re related, then it becomes a weaker password). Make sure the first word has a capital for the first letter, then add two numbers and finish with a unique character. An example: Ballcarb49!
I thought I’d share this little life hack to help anyone unaware and make it common knowledge!
