If managing multiple passwords for all your accounts is a headache, then you'll be happy to know that there's a simpler way to create passwords that are stronger and can be a little easier to remember.
Instead of passwords made up of letters (lowercase and uppercase), numbers, punctuation marks and the most varied characters, choose to add one or another emoji. This is the advice given by Kaspersky's Stan Kaminsky in a recent block post of the security company.
“When intruders try to guess a password with letters, numbers and punctuation marks, there are less than a hundred variations for each symbol they choose. But there are more than 3.600 emojis in Unicode, so choosing one for a password forces hackers to try about 3.700 variations per symbol.”, explains Kaminsky.
The security expert's advice is to create a phrase and later convert it with an emoji translator, which in theory will result in a more secure and less vulnerable password.
