Passwords
We have all created passwords for various things at some point in our lives. Most of the time, passwords are used to protect ourselves on the internet and on computers. When I go to create a password, I try to make it complex and confusing. This way, nobody will be able to hack into my account or into my computer. This is a lot like writing a code. You don't want to use a simple code like a single substitution. It is just too easy to decrypt. Instead, it is always a good idea to use a more advanced type of code. Always try to use numbers and capital letters in your passwords. It make them a lot more difficult to guess.

I do the exact same thing when I am making a password. I have always been curious, if someone doesn't know your password are there ways to simply override the system and hack in anyways? I mean I am positive there is, but how hard is that to do? Could you look it up on the internet and become a computer hacker? Passwords seem so difficult to break as an uneducated person trying to break into a computer, but I doubt they mean much to a real hacker.
ReplyDeleteNow I think I will encode my next password. I never thought of doing that but this just sparked my imagination. Also using numbers in place of letters is always a clever trick.
