4 IMPORTANCE OF PASSWORDING YOUR PHONE

Some individuals probably out of laziness find it as a waste of time to have a password(or pattern) on their phone. but below are some of the benefits that they offer-
1.Prevent your files from being accessed by third parties without your permission.
2.Keeps your personal informations and messages safe.
3.Keeps you calm even when your phone is  not  where you are.
4.And in the case of you misplacing your phone,your files and confidential infos will be out of access as the new owner will have to format or flash your phone thereby deleting your files and as a result inaccessible to him/her.


Tips for creating a strong password;

• A good password is:
  • 7 or more characters long.
  • Not easy to spot while typing, such as “asdfjkl;”, and can be typed quickly (keep an eye out for those over-the-shoulder snoopers).
  • A combination of upper and lower case letters, as well as numbers, punctuation marks, and symbols.
• Try:
  • Using the first letter of a phrase that has an important meaning to you. “Yankee Doodle went to London riding on a pony” would be “ydwtlroap”. Don’t forget to add a few numbers and symbols to that phrase!
  • Intentionally misspelling a word or phrase. Use “Dankee Yoodle” instead of “Yankee Doodle”.
  • Changing your password at least every 90 days. (Make sure to NEVER reuse old passwords!)

And once you create this secure password, never EVER write it down. Anywhere!!!
