Hi Jayanthi, being in software field, I very well understand how risky it could be if we avoid password rules. Two factor authentication is really something that can make authentication even stronger. Liked the short yet insightful post.
In today’s high tech world everything needs passwords. Remembering them is a real headache! But yes the points you have mentioned are really necessary to follow.
Short but informative article. 🙂
Hi, you have mentioned all valid points. But I wish there was a way to remember the passwords easily. I really have a tough time keeping them in my memory bank. Though I also have 2 factor authentication for my blog and find it really useful.
Oops I always save my passwords on my personal laptop. Hmmm maybe I need to rethink this strategy. But I’m careful with my banking passwords. Loved the way you have put the info in an easy to understand infographic.
Hi Jayanti! Your rules for password hygiene are apt and to the point. About saving the password, I am guilty of doing that as it eases work everytime we go back to it… Will be more careful and maintain more password hygiene now on… Short and very informative blog!
I practice most of these tips but I am guilty of feeding passwords into certain sites! It is so difficult to remember them all! What do you think of using Facebook or Google to authenticate passwords?
Jayanthi it is a simple yet informative post..Personally I feel the two factor authentication makes a huge difference and everyone should start using it!
Very useful guidelines, Jayanthi. As I don’t save passwords, I’ve been locked out of a few of my social media accounts as I couldn’t remember any recovery credentials! 😛
Remembering passwords is a task for me.
thanks for sharing extremely essential infos. Changing password time to time has indeed become a regular task, your post memorized me to do this task at soonest again.
Thanks for sharing and reminding of these password pointers.
I do follow many of these rules of mixed characters, changing frequently.
It’s a tedious process to remember these secret stars still they are the must for logins, so password hygiene as the term you used is very essential for health of our digital platforms.
Jayanthi, these are some important and must-follow rules for password hygiene. It has been emphasized so many times by various videos and whatsapp messages too that sharing passwords or OTPs is an absolute no. But I have observed that most of the times, the elderly community fall pray to many frauds and phishing only because they shared the passwords or OTPS with someone. Luckily for me, I don’t save my passwords in computer but at times, with so many websites and accounts I tend to forget them and have often felt the need to reset them. Also, two-factor authentication is very helpful in keeping one’s account safe. Useful and informative blog!
This was indeed helpful. I am often lazy on changing passwords frequently but now I have made it a note on my phone and it reminds me every three month to change the password.
Yikes! I dont change passwords too often just because of the sheer no. of passwords that i need to remember ! this is a good reminder to become more careful!

Thank you, Shipra… happy that you liked the post!
I found it interesting that we are not supposed to share passwords. Most of us are guilty of that as it is the easy way out
Oh..please don’t share passwords or write them down anywhere…

You can consider using a password manager…
