The star of this year as of 2019 has been <strong>123456<\/strong> followed by her cousin <strong>123456789<\/strong>, surely used for password services with a minimum of 8 digits. As a surprise has been the appearance in the top 3 of <strong>picture1<\/strong> and <strong>senha<\/strong> in the top 10, whose meaning is password in Portuguese.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19948 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TOP-10-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TOP-10-1.png 1677w, https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TOP-10-1-300x148.png 300w, https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TOP-10-1-1024x505.png 1024w, https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TOP-10-1-768x379.png 768w, https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TOP-10-1-1536x757.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1677px) 100vw, 1677px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you are a fan of 123456 we give you some <strong>tips for creating a password <\/strong>with a decent level of security.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip 1:<\/strong> Avoid using combinations of numbers or strings of adjacent keyboard shortcuts. For example \u201cpassword\u201d, \u201cpassword\u201d, \u201cqwerty\u201d or \u201c123456\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip 2:<\/strong> Avoid setting your password as any personal information that is easy to decipher, such as your birthday, year of birth, your mother&#039;s name, the name of your street, or your dog&#039;s name. It is information that can be located very easily and hackers know it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip 3:<\/strong> Create a strong password, no less than 12 characters, even more if you can. Use combinations of upper and lower case letters, symbols and numbers to make it more secure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip 4:<\/strong> Change your password every 90 days. With this I am not telling you to change all the passwords for everything, but at least the one for your email account, the Wi-Fi network and the one for access to your bank details.<\/p>\n<p>We hope that more than one of you will think about changing your password after reading the article, 123456 is no longer cool and although it is still a trend, as we have seen, it leaves your level of cybersecurity as safe as the lock on a children&#039;s piggy bank. The funniest thing is that we look for easy-to-remember numerical passwords, but then, the pattern on the cell phone looks like it was drawn by a DJ rapping on his mixing deck.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The year is ending and with the arrival of Christmas, the Christmas carols and the Christmas party, the articles with the last name &quot;...2020&quot; begin to rain... <a title=\"TOP 10 of the worst passwords used in 2020\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/eng\/blog-ciberseguridad\/top-10-de-las-peores-contrasenas-usadas-en-2020\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about TOP 10 of the worst passwords used in 2020\">Read more<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":51,"featured_media":19950,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[332],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19945","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-ciberseguridad"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19945","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/51"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19945"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19945\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19950"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19945"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19945"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
