PC Security - Change Your Password Once a Month to Avoid Cracks in Your PC Security System!
When PC security experts recommend that you change your passwords regularly they do so for a reason. Decrypting a password is only a question of time, sometimes very little time. The stronger your password the longer it takes. Changing your password often helps make it more difficult for hackers to guess your password. However, it is no guarantee that you wont get hacked.
What Are The Advantages Of Changing My Password Regularly?
Well, if you always use the same password, use it for everything and never change it you make it pretty easy for people to guess. Someone who's looking over your shoulder when you at a public computer will have access to all your accounts. If you change your passwords regularly you make it more difficult for people to guess what your password really is. And if they manage to guess what it is there is a greater likelihood that you have changed it when they try to use it.
Changing your password often makes it more difficult to crack for hackers, and that's a good thing!
What Are The Hassles Of Changing Passwords Regularly?
Well, if you do it right you change your password once a month, and you never use the same password twice! In addition, you never use the same password on multiple accounts. The problem is that you will soon have to remember a whole lot of passwords! This is a nuisance to say the least, but I'm afraid that's just the way it is these days.
How Often Should I Change My Passwords?
I recommend doing so at least once a month. Doing it once every three months is better than nothing, but don't use the same password any longer than that!
The rule of thumb is that the more often you change your passwords the harder it is for a hacker to crack it!
