Make a Strong Password
Many computer users including some experts are sometimes wondering why their websites suddenly changed or infected by malicious scripts.
Common reason? It was accessed by malwares, spyware or whatever you call them.
Easy to guess password or sometimes called dictionary password is the most common reason for this unauthorized access. Negligence or maybe lack of knowledge on behalf of website owner/administrator to make his/her password robust is one of the main concern.
Because of this, I decided to recommend two websites that will help you to create robust password and check how strong it is.
First website is www.strongpasswordgenerator.com, if you have trouble creating your own strong password then please check this website and generate your own. However, it might take time before you remember this password since most of the combination is really difficult; unless you choose to have three (3) letter password which is not suggested.
Another one is www.passwordmeter.com, I prefer this website since I customize my own password and all I need to do is to check its credibility using the meter.
Here’s some helpful tips:

- Contain both uppercase and lowercase letters.
