I\u2019ve used the same password for many of my online accounts, which is terribly dangerous in today\u2019s online-driven society. I changed this unsafe practice by coming up with a very unique system and in this article I\u2019ll show you how to create unique and easy-to-remember passwords for all your online needs.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine for a second having the same password for all your accounts, and somehow (either using social engineering or other tactics, such as a key logger) someone gets a hold of it and has locked you out of everything. Your Gmail, your online banking accounts, your goDaddy account and your domains, etc. Now imagine trying to regain possession of all of these accounts. Surely, a nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>In an ideal world, we would have different convoluted (numbers, lower-uppercase, symbols) passwords for every single one of our accounts. Now, at least for me, it would be impossible to remember all of these given the numerous online accounts I\u2019ve got all over the internet. Sure, you can use a program that automatically stores and fills in unique passwords for you, such as Roboform, but just imagine how horrible it would be if, one; your computer caught on fire or got stolen, all your passwords are all gone! Two: if someone got discovered Roboform\u2019s master password. Either way, you\u2019re screwed.<\/p>\n<p>Now imagine a system where you would have easy to remember AND unique passwords for every single account. I\u2019ve come up with the perfect solution. I\u2019ll give you an example of how to achieve this, but remember, just create your own unique way. Just bear with me.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, think of 2 memorable short words and a number. You can use 2 of your current passwords, just to keep things simple, and a number.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>first word: dog<\/li>\n<li>second word: <strong>red<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>a number (someone\u2019s birth year, reversed): <strong>37<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We\u2019ve got dogred37. Remember, play with upper-lower case combinations.<\/p>\n<p>Now we\u2019ve got doGreD38.<\/p>\n<p>Lets take this combination and make it the base of our unique passwords, and this is how:<\/p>\n<p>For your Hotmail account. Grab the first letter of hotmail, h and the last letter, l. Now combine it with your master password, reversed, and we get: <strong>LdoGred37h<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For Gmail: LdoGred37G<\/li>\n<li>For eBay: YdoGred37e<\/li>\n<li>For Amazon: NdoGreD37a<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now there you have it. Unique and easy to remember passwords. You\u2019ll never have to click the \u201cforgot your password\u201d link and wait for an email in return EVER AGAIN! Even worse, you won\u2019t be tempted to write down your password on that sticky note on your monitor.<\/p>\n<p>Create your own system. Be creative, but not too creative, where you won\u2019t remember your own combination. Keep it simple.<\/p>\n<p>Please share (without revealing, obviously) how you create and remember passwords in the comments.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ll admit it.
