The National Institute of Standards and Technology is issuing new guidelines to make passwords easier to manage and more secure.
Periodic mandatory password updates were implemented as an attempt to keep accounts safe. If a hacker had obtained your password, being forced to change it would lock the attacker out. But, director and Bosch distinguished professor in security and privacy technologies of CyLab at Carnegie Mellon University, says that’s not the reality.
“If you want a more secure password that maybe you have a better chance of remembering, what I like to do is to think of a phrase that I will remember — preferably not song lyrics or a quote or something that other people know — and then I take the first couple of letters of each word and string them together. And then I do like to take a digit or a symbol and kind of put it in the middle somewhere.
“The reality is that that doesn't happen very often. And when it does happen, usually you're informed right away. And so, as a result of these occasional breaches, there hasn't been a lot of damage, relatively speaking.
