Digital security: Passwords

"I always use the same password for all my accounts and applications. I do not like to use complicated passwords because it is difficult to remember and too long. What do you think?..."

Someone that use always the same password for all him or her accounts could have very huge problems. If you use always the same pasword it will be easier for you to remember the password, but if someone discovered one of your paswords  and try to entry in all your accounts with that password they can steal all your data. The person that discovered your password had all your information, and sometimes also can control your money if you buy by the internet.

3. You can also include numbers with a meaning, for example the birthday of a friend or a important date.      Like this: d1git4lizati0n 28/6

4. You should include signs like@,#.

5. Then you should put a different password in all your accounts

6. The last tip I recomended you to use, is to don't tell your passwords to nobody. It is better to write your      passwords in a paper or something like that.
