Victoria TV | España.- Because of how easy it is for hackers to access private information of others, the problems they have had other networks such as Linkedin, who suffered a hacking of millions of private information, Microsoft decided to prohibit its users the use of “dumb”.
key wit users in determining a password is absolutely null and each year the list of most commonly used passwords without suffering just repeats variations. According to the newspaper El Pais in Spain.
“The most important thing when choosing a password that is unique and therefore difficult to figure out,” Microsoft said on its corporate blog.
Basically, what will the giant is collating the dynamic list of most used passwords with the proposal by the user, and if they match, its use will be prevented. With this simple measure the firm ensures that the attack on these users be more complicated, or at least not so simple.
In addition, the company has created a basic guide to help users properly protect your accounts (applicable logically any other service).
Among the main tips are to choose a password at least 8 characters, use a capital letter and symbol, and above all, enable verification two steps.
it is ultimately the most difficult action of hackers, but there is no doubt that at the cost of convenience and access an account. In this sense, users who have activated two-step verification know well how tedious it is to configure a new device for the first time.
The problem is that many Internet users can not (or want to) remember a password only service that also combines symbols and capital letters.
Until biometric systems are imposed, where they shine password managers, some services that balance the best safety and convenience, and make the problem of security in the accounts much easier.
