Password - Tricks

Password Policy?is Series of my thoughts for enhancing Password protection for daily usage?

I will use?Ajay Brij Chaube?and his wife?Mrunal?as an example,?

Tricks?

Strong?and?different?Passwords?for different websites/ usage is essential.?

However, It is difficult to create and remember such passwords.

I suggest creation of?skeleton?(structure) password and use it across different needs.?

One such?suggestion?is?

PwM@1515#MiG

Pw?- 1st 2 character are suggestive of purpose. Here it refers to?Bank?by it's address?Parle West

M?- 3rd character refers to Person to whom Password belongs, say?Mrunal

@?- Special character. I would typically interchange special characters for different use.?

15?- 1st and 5th number of either?ATM?card or account number (ATM or account number are normally 12 to 16digits)?

15?- 2nd set of 1st and 5th number of?Customer ID.

Using 2 different set of numbers creates an uniqueness which is not as predictable as Birth YYYY or Anniversary YYYY and?yet easily re-creatable?(if you forget the password)

#?- Special character?

MiG?- Some phrase, which is easy to remember, motivational and or Affirmation. "Money?is?Growing"

PwA@1515#MiG?for Ajay.

Using skeleton approach makes it easy to?Create?different passwords for different purposes, easy to?Remember?and?Recreate?

Password for Salary Bank account at Churchgate will be

ChM@1515#SiG

Churchgate + Mrunal + @ + 15 + 15 (select respective ATM and Customer ID) + # + Salary is Growing

?

Password for DP account with Bank?

PwM#1515@WiG

Parle West + Mrunal + # + 1515 (DP account + Online Trade account) + @ + Wealth is Growing?

?

Password for Income Tax site

InM@1500#EpT

India + Mrunal + @ + 15 (1st and 5th character of PAN) + 00 Blanks + # + Enjoy paying Tax

??

Skeleton Passwords?used for?Banks / Custodian DP accounts / Income Tax,?should not be replicated for Social Media accounts like FB, LinkedIn, Instagram?

Create different Skeleton for Social Media accounts?

?

Regularly restructure Skeleton and likewise change passwords of all Bank, DP accounts, etc.?

Hygiene of changing passwords is very important for its safety.?
