[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]All passwords are breakable and the time to break them depends on the strength of the password and the number of allowed attempts.<\/span><\/p>\n

As we know the full negative effect of a compromised account sometimes can take months or years to recover. With the nature of the information we deal with online each day, there\u2019s no room to be negligence about our approach to account security. Keeping users, systems, and resources secure today requires combined efforts using strong password policies and staying on top of the latest information <\/span>security best practices<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before we start looking at the strong password protection we really have to say that in our modern world just to have a super strong and long password by itself is actually not enough. Compute power is used to break human passwords and without additional computer help, human capacity for passwords will be outperformed by breaking computers. We caring in our pockets more powerful computers (cellphones) then the ones they used to go to the Moon (presumably they ever did\u2026). Even seemingly very strong password can be cracked in \u201cOffline Attack\u201d in a matter of hours if they do not comply with certain criteria we will be looking at later in this blog. The best up to date practice is to have Multi-Factor Authentication and failed logins protection on information systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Follow these 6 simple steps to improve your password management:<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1. Create One Very Strong Password That Nobody Knows And You Remember It.<\/b><\/h2>\n

The strong password should include the following characteristics:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \u2003 contain more than 12-15 characters total<\/span>
    \n<\/span>\u2022 \u2003 contain a few 4-6 complex characters (digits, special symbols, punctuation, upper cases)<\/span>
    \n<\/span>\u2022 \u2003 Never include only dictionary words.<\/span>
    \n<\/span>\u2022 \u2003 Never include patterns of characters.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Longer passwords are better than more complex. The length is very crucial.<\/span><\/p>\n

    You can come up with your own system for this: write any sentence you like, I personally like to use good quote, lyrics of the song or poetry, then take the initials of each word make some of them a capital and spice them up with a combination of numbers and special characters.<\/span>Another way to do this is to pick a phrase and substitute characters within the phrase with complex characters.<\/span><\/p>\n


    \n<\/span>The third way might be to take a phrase, then use only first letters, substitute some letters with special characters, add numbers, add more whole words at the end to increase the length.<\/span><\/p>\n


    \n<\/span>Example:<\/b> theQu!ckBrownfoxjump$0verthel^zydog<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Using these methods, you can not only create a password that is very difficult to crack but also easy to remember. After all, what is the use of a strong password if you can\u2019t remember it?<\/span><\/p>\n

    Step 2. Use This Strong Password For The Few Offline And Local Logins (On Systems And Applications Which Don\u2019t Store Your Password On The Web).<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Use it for your computer login, the master password for a password manager, backups encryption, Time Capsule access, your private server operating system, VPN, SSH keys, and other offline systems.<\/span><\/p>\n


    \n<\/span>Keep track and remember where you used this main password. The fewer systems use this main password the better.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Step 3. Choose A Password Manager<\/b><\/h2>\n

    1Password, Dashlane, RoboForm, LastPass, KeePass, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n


    \n<\/span>There are paid and free password managers. Usually, you get for you pay for. In a good password manager, you will be able to store a lot of sensitive information like logins passwords, secure notes, passport, software licenses, bank and credit card information.<\/span><\/p>\n

    We are using 1password, but you need to do your own research.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Use of the Password Manager software will not only keep safe your existing passwords and help you to generate new ones, you also don\u2019t have to remember all of your passwords. That leaves you free to make them as insanely complicated as you wish. The only password you have to remember is a Master Password to unlock secure container where all of your passwords kept. Password managers provide the crucial service of helping you avoid password reuse, and making it easy to change a password if you\u2019re concerned that it\u2019s been compromised. Managers offer a random password generator tool in which you can control things like the length and number of special characters you want. And password managers can store lots of data, not just login credentials. They\u2019re a good place to keep things like credit card numbers and insurance information, and most can even store files like PDFs or photos. They\u2019re generally not the most convenient place to keep all your files, but it makes sense to use them for storing things like tax forms and photos of your driver\u2019s license.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Password Manager easily integrates with the most of Internet Browsers and can feel up your credentials, shipping addresses and credit cards with the push of the button (we don\u2019t recommend \u201cautomatic autofill\u201d because of the security risks it presents). This speeds up your workflow and keeps your mind concentrated on the tasks that really matter. There are multiple solutions on the market and you might need to do in-depth research and comparison of functionality and security of these solutions. Some of them had history of being compromised and you want to be sure your passwords are safe! Some of the Managers can be synchronized with your cell phone which is very convenient if you have to log in from different computers and can act as a two-factor authentication manager.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Step 4. Use Auto-Generated Passwords For All Online Web-Based Systems Whenever Possible<\/b><\/h2>\n

    All online passwords can be created with a \u201cPassword Generator\u201d and you don\u2019t need to know these passwords. Depending on your chosen password manager, these auto-generated passwords can be available on your several devices and online.<\/span>
    \n<\/span>Recommended auto generate password settings: More than 25 characters, 5 digits, 5 symbols<\/span><\/p>\n

    Step 5. Configure Password Manager Security Settings And A Screensaver With A Password On Login<\/b><\/h2>\n

    All computers can be configured with a 10 min screen saver that requires a password on login from screen saver. We recommend the 10 min screen saver settings when you want to keep your password manager unlocked for a longer time ( up to 2 hours) and this will further protect your computer from unauthorized access.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Step 6. Protect Your Strong Password<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Now that you\u2019ve created your strongest password possible here some well-known principles of good password security:<\/span>
    \n<\/span>\u2022 \u2003 A password is part of your digital identity \u2013 don\u2019t share your main password with anyone<\/span>
    \n<\/span>\u2022 \u2003 Never disclose your other usernames and passwords to third parties.<\/span>
    \n<\/span>\u2022 \u2003 You should be able to remember your one main password and it is best not to write it down anywhere (except temporarily in the initial stage of memorizing).<\/span>
    \n<\/span>\u2022 \u2003 Use a special shared password on systems which are not configured to support individual accounts like for wireless access.<\/span>
    \n<\/span>\u2022 \u2003 Never store usernames and passwords on paper or in an unencrypted computer file.<\/span>
    \n<\/span>\u2022 \u2003 Consider updating your account password with a certain frequency (every 6 months or once a year). To have a good password is more important than to update it frequently.<\/span>
    \n<\/span>\u2022 \u2003 Do not use passwords that have been used in the past.<\/span>
    \n<\/span>\u2022 \u2003 Never provide credentials when requested through email unless it\u2019s encrypted or when the user is forced to reset the password on the first login.<\/span>
    \n<\/span>\u2022 \u2003If you have to share a password, use a site like <\/span>OneTimeSecret<\/b>. This site creates a link to a page with your password info (or whatever info you choose), and once the page is viewed once, it is gone forever.<\/span>
    \n<\/span>\u2022 \u2003 Don\u2019t save passwords or use \u201cremember me\u201d on public computers<\/span><\/p>\n

    Some Interesting Facts<\/b><\/h2>\n

    73% of users have the same password for multiple sites, 33% use the same password every time.<\/span><\/p>\n

    That simply means that if one of your site passwords got compromised you have a risk of losing much more confidential information from other sources as well. In this case, changing a password with just one site is not always enough.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Passwords \u201cpassword\u201d, \u201cwelcome\u201d, and \u201c12345\u2033 can be cracked in less time than it takes to type them.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Every extra character in your password increases the difficulty for hackers to crack it.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Think one extra letter or number doesn\u2019t mean much? Consider this:<\/span>
    \n<\/span>\u2022 \u2003A 6-character password with only letters has 308,915,776 possible combinations.<\/span>
    \n<\/span>\u2022 \u2003An 8-character password with only letters has 208,827,064,576 possible combinations.<\/span>
    \n<\/span>\u2022 \u2003An 8-character password with letters (upper & lower case) and includes numbers and symbols has 6,095,689,385,410,816 possible combinations.<\/span><\/p>\n


    \n<\/span>There is a real strength in numbers\u2026or in this case, extra characters required by strong password policies passwords.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Multi-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security that is difficult for hackers to crack.<\/span><\/p>\n

    You probably already using it if you have Amazon, Google or Facebook accounts. So even if hackers would guess your password they still will need to crack an extra level of security.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Online and Offline Attacks<\/b><\/h3>\n

    To understand why we actually need such strict password policy we need briefly to look at the difference between Online and Offline Hacking. Online Attacks occur when someone attempts to log in to a website by guessing someone else\u2019s username and password using that site\u2019s standard login page. Online Attacks are subject to a couple of natural limits; Attackers cannot subject a system to too many guesses because of the amount of activity their attack generates. If they will be persistent then it will attract the attention of the site\u2019s maintainer and it could also easily be enough to overwhelm the website completely.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Because of that throttle limitation a password that\u2019s targeted in an online attack needs to be able to withstand, according to the researchers, no more than about 1,000,000 guesses. One million guesses might sound a lot but even a quite short, randomly generated five character password like \u201c24S4b\u201d would likely survive. But this completely changes with the threat of an Offline Attack.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Offline Attacks occur when someone steals, buys or otherwise finds themselves in possession of a website\u2019s password database. With the database in an environment that the attacker can control, the shackles imposed by the online environment are thrown off. Offline Attacks are limited by the speed at which attackers can make guesses and that means it\u2019s all about horsepower.<\/span><\/p>\n

    To understand the difference between Online and Offline Attacks it\u2019s helpful to see the numbers side-by-side.<\/span>
    \n<\/span>Scenario \u2003 \u2003 \u2003 \u2003 \u2003 \u2003 Guesses a strong password must withstand<\/b>
    \n<\/span>Online attack \u2003 \u2003 \u2003 \u20031,000,000<\/span>
    \n<\/span>Offline attack \u2003 \u2003 \u2003 \u2003100,000,000,000,000<\/span><\/p>\n

    Not only is the difference between those two numbers mindbogglingly large, there is \u2013 according to the researchers at least \u2013 no middle ground. It means that your password should be really strong and long.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Password security is just a small part of overall information security which includes:<\/span>
    \n<\/span>\u2022 \u2003 Network security (Network Intrusion Prevention Systems, Threat prevention, URL filtering, VPN)<\/span>
    \n<\/span>\u2022 \u2003 Server security (Server security hardening, Advanced host firewall, Use Two-Factor Authentication. With Two-Factor Authentication, you will receive a text message for login and password reset requests. )<\/span>
    \n<\/span>\u2022 \u2003 User computer security (backups, antivirus, disk encryption, browser security)<\/span>
    \n<\/span>\u2022 \u2003 Application security<\/span><\/p>\n

    Passwords are not going to disappear, but are being enhanced by Multi-Factor authentication for stronger authentication. A password is something you know. Your digital identity can be reinforced with something you have (phone, token, certificate keys) or someone you are (biometrics).<\/span><\/p>\n


    \n<\/span>In general, information systems should limit the number of failed login attempts.<\/span><\/p>\n
