| What is it | |
| Your computer and in your online accounts. It consists from a relatively
short sequence of numbers, letters, and symbols that are entered to
verify your identity to a certain system, data or other resources.
Passwords are problematic by their nature, which is explained later on.
Another option to identify yourself is the use of Passphrases.
They work like passwords, and are used in the same way. Nevertheless, they differ from traditional passwords in two main ways. Passphrases are longer than passwords. Passwords can be as short as 8, 6, 4 characters, but passphrases have larger minimum length and they might be 20 or 30 characters long or even longer. This greater length provides more powerful security; it is far more difficult for a hacker to break a 30-character passphrasethan an 10-character password. Systems that use shorter passwords often disallowactual names or words. |

| How does it work | |
| Hints to make it both secure and easy to remember: 1. Avoid common phrases, lyrics, or quotations; these can be easy for hackers to guess. However, you can create an acronym from the letters of the words in a phrase or quotation that is memorable to you (e.g., "How are you?" could become howRu?). 2. While randomly selected words will make a stronger pass phrase than words typically used together, using your random words in a grammatical English sentence will make the pass phrase much easier to remember. 3.Interleave two words or a word and a number sequence that is meaningful to you, for example, your favourite fruit and a memorable year (e.g., "cherry" and "1995" could be inter leaved as ch1e9rr9y5, ch9e9rr5y, or cher1995ry). |
