Backup Usernames / Backup Passwords Make Sure Your Prepared
Backup usernames
and backup passwords may be something you will never have to
use, but on the other hand what happens if your computer goes
wrong?
Do you have your
usernames and passwords stored elsewhere ? is your computer
setup to just remember most of them whenever you go to the site
?
The kind of passwords
and usernames that you need to make a note of usually consist of
Internet accounts
/ sites you login to
Operating system
usernames and passwords
Email account usernames and passwords
Probably the best
thing you can do is to make up a spreadsheet with a password,
using something like Excel is ok and we can also password the
document for piece of mind in case it ever falls into the wrong
hands.
When you create any
password try and make it as hard as possible for anyone other
than you or people you trust to know, use a combination of the
following format.
At least 7 characters
, and a mixture of lower case, upper case, alphabetical and
numerical characters. So for example we could use
america
but this would be far
too simple for someone to guess or crack, you could always use
am3ricA
so in a way it still
looks like America and is easy to remember, but its far harder
to crack these kind of passwords as they are never found in
dictionarys
So as soon as you get a new username and password dont just
enter it and allow your computer to remember it, if your
computer ever breaks you could lose the password along with all
your other data.
Even worse if your
computer is ever lost / stolen anyone logging on will then have
access to any of remembered accounts and passwords. Put together
a secure spreadsheet using something like Excel its very easy to
do and will save a lot of time if the worst ever happens.
You can also store
any Internet links in here as well so you remember the location
for the username / password
