Are they secure? What steps shouldyou be taking to ensure that your personal or office data is secure? In this article we will discuss issues with lost password recovery,Windows password recovery, password managers, password management, passwordcracking and more important information everyone should know about easy passwordrecovery and office password recovery. We will go on to give you the five easysteps to making up a strong password that will not be so susceptible topassword cracking or hackers.  How do people acquire your passwords?There are several methods thieves and hackers use to find out yourpasswords. From the most mundane things like having it written in the wrongplace to mathematically sound password cracking algorithms designed to figureout any possible combination of characters.  The most obvious and perhaps most common method is for someone to findthe password where  you have written itdown. While this method may seem like the easiest to put a stop to, it is alsoone of the easiest and most common ways for other people to get your passwords.Then if you don’t write them down, you forgetthem and have to use lost password recovery systems. Word password recovery can be easily done by hackers and informationthieves. They use what is known as a dictionary search. A dictionary search isjust what it sounds like. If you use any word in the dictionary for yourpassword, the dictionary search algorithm will figure it out. The geniuses thatwrite these programs even make them try unique combinations of charactersbefore and after each word, so using a word followed by “xxx” or your birth datewon’t always work either. The second and more thorough method of password cracking is to try eachand every possible combination of characters possible. These may take a whileto run, but they will get your password almost every time if the applicationyou are using permits it. The 5 easy steps to a strong password1.     Be careful where you write your password down. Youhave to force yourself to keep such information in a safe place. If you mustwrite your passwords down, write them somewhere that only you have access toand don’t just leave them layingabout. 2.     Do not use words or combinations of words and randomcharacters as passwords since these methods will leave you vulnerable todictionary searches.3.     Use longer passwords with uppercase letters, lowercaseletters numbers and even other characters if the application allows it. Theprocess of searching all possible characters for password cracking has onemajor flaw. It takes a long time to work and the longer and more diverse yourcharacter combination is, the longer it will take to break. For example apassword that is several characters long with several combinations and types ofcharacters might take years for an exhaustive search of characters to find thecorrect password.4.     Do not use the same password or the same few passwordsfor everything. You should use a different password as many times as possible.If a thief breaks one of your passwords, you can bet he will try it oneverything he can.5.     Use a password manager. There are applications readilyavailable that will help you with your passwords. Most of them work by allowingyou to remember just one master password while the application uses a differentunique password for every web resource it manages.
