In order to protect the accounts in online services from being hacked, it is necessary to use passwords consisting of letters from different languages in different situations and with different characters. In this respect informs The publication NEWS.ru cites the words of an IT specialist and the developer of the official website of the President of the Russian Federation Artem Geller.
According to Geller, if the recommendations described above are taken into account, a combination of six to eight characters will suffice for reliable protection. Generally, the expert believes that the more characters in the password, the better.
“The more characters in the password, the better. But six to eight characters will be enough if possible, if you use the Cyrillic alphabet and the Latin alphabet, and numbers and different symbols, and also change the capital / lowercase and uppercase letters, ”said the author.
When compiling a password, Geller recommended avoiding using your own names and those of loved ones. In addition, according to the expert, choosing the date of birth as a password is also a mistake.
