       How to Manage
       Passwords?
       Today, computer security
       has become part of our lives.
       Even the most basic user
       may have to manage
       passwords by the dozen. It
       can be his personal email
       password, the password of
       his computer at work, the
       password of his computer at
       home, the password for the
       TV parental control, the
       password for his debit card,
       etc, etc.
       You even have the option to
       password protect folders.
       That way, if multiple users
       make use of your computer,
       you can protect your
       confidential information.
       However, all this password
       frenzy has had a negative
       consequence among people.
       They are too relaxed about
       their passwords. So, let's
       find more about passwords
       A Brief History Of
       Passwords
       Although we may consider
       passwords as a recent
       invention, in reality they
       were created thousands of
       years ago. Imagine a time
       were there was no TV, radio
       or even newspapers. The
       same thing goes for
       photography and video
       cameras. There was no way
       in which you could know how
       the Count of Sussex looked
       like if you have never met
       him before.
       That's why there was the
       need for a word, or
       combination of words, that
       could be used for gaining
       access to determined places.
       The same thing goes for
       keys. These may be
       considered a physical
       manifestation of a password.
       After all, the key has the
       "password" for opening a
       lock.
       It wasn't until the advent of
       the digital era that system
       administrators found that
       certain areas should only be
       accessed by them. Consider
       how much damage an
       inexpert user can cause to a
       computer if he has access to
       the main files. Fortunately,
       the internet is here to help
       us
       You only need to insert some
       words in your favorite
       search engine, like password
       protect program, excel
       password protect, password
       protect computer, how to
       password protect website
       and you will find tons of
       information on how to protect
       your computer, archives or
       website with a password.
       Nevertheless, there are
       some rules that you need to
       follow
