Secure Password for Secure web hostnig company

We are hight uptill our business is high, so we need to do all for our business. No intruder shall be allowed to do damage to our company. Well, the start of the intruder in our web-hosting business starts with the password hacking.

Intruders uses sophisticated methods to break passwords, including dictionary attacks.

The trick to designing a good password is to come up with something that an attacker would not guess. You password should not be your name, id name, name of yoru family, friends, pets, it should not be phone number, postal numbers, social security number.

A good password is oen, which a intruder cannot judge, so it is necessary that we must use special characters digits, puntuations, etc in password, but that should be used in such a way, that we can remeber them. It should be long enough so that brute attackers would even find it very very difficult to find out.

Unfortunately, a secure password that is easy to remember is a contradiction in terms.

Some particularly sophisticated passwords are overkill - there isn't really a need for such random passwords as to make them all but impossible to break within a reasonable timeframe. They just make it more difficult to keep track of them and if you ever forget it or lose the piece of paper you tucked away with it on, you can forget getting back into your account.

A server that has been set up correctly will not allow intruders to make multiple successive attempts to log in - That immediately rules out the risk of brute force attacks. In addition to this, you can set servers up to only allow a set number of login attempts before the IP is banned. Again, there are ways round this but with these two methods combined, all but the most determined of crackers will be put off.

Users should be more concerned with keeping personal details secret - The problem with the net is that people are divulging more and more personal information - parent's names, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, friends, favourite food, places - exactly the sort of information used to answer secret questions that may just allow intruders to gain access by retrieving your password instead of guessing/breaking it.
