Strong Passwords: The Benefits of Extended Characters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to choosing a secure password, using longer, complex passwords is the ideal option. Longer passwords provide greater protection against those attempting to gain access to your accounts. But why is it important to take it a step further and use extended characters?<\/p>\n<p>Extended characters are special symbols, numbers, and punctuation marks that you can combine with letters to make your passwords unique and more difficult to guess. Here are a few of the benefits of using extended characters:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Increased Security:<\/strong> The use of extended characters such as underscores, brackets, and symbols add an extra layer of security to your password that\u2019s difficult for hackers and bots to break.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Uniqueness:<\/strong> Using extended characters makes your password truly unique and one of a kind, meaning no one else has access to it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ease of Use:<\/strong> Choosing passwords with extended characters is surprisingly simple and doesn\u2019t take a lot of time. All you need to do is pick a memorable phrase and add a few extended characters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Strong passwords with extended characters are your first line of defense against potential hackers and identity theft. It may take a little extra effort but it will be worth it in the end.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"2-master-the-art-of-password-crafting-tips-for-using-complex-characters\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Master_the_Art_of_Password_Crafting_Tips_for_Using_Complex_Characters\"><\/span>2. Master the Art of Password Crafting: Tips for Using Complex Characters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Passwords are like house keys, they\u2019re necessary and should never be shared. Sure, you could use \u201cpassword\u201d or \u201c123456\u201d. But using a complex password is the best way to protect your digital door. Not sure how to craft a complex password that you can remember? Check out these tips to get started:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mix it up:<\/strong> A strong password has a mix of numbers, upper- and lower-case letters, and even special characters like !@#$%^&amp;*.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Go Long:<\/strong> The longer the password, the harder it is to guess. That\u2019s why experts recommend longer passwords like 8 or 12 characters.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use pass phrases:<\/strong> Instead of using a <a title=\"Cjis Advanced Password Standards\" href=\"https:\/\/logmeonce.com\/resources\/cjis-advanced-password-standards\/\">single dictionary word<\/a>, use a three to five word phrase and mix it up with numbers and special characters.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Create a pattern:<\/strong> Create a pattern like numbers and symbols that you can easily remember and easily type. Something like 3elephantsAnd2rabbits works, as long as the pattern isn\u2019t too obvious.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Humor helps: <\/strong>Encoding a funny phrase into your password helps you remember it better, provided the phrase isn\u2019t too obvious.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Using password generators and password keepers can prove useful. Password generators create a lengthy string of characters that makes for a difficult-to-crack password. Password keepers, on the other hand, allow you to have only one strong master password while having different, secure passwords for everything else.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3-stay-protected-learn-about-password-security-extended-characters\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Stay_Protected_Learn_About_Password_Security_Extended_Characters\"><\/span>3.
