Often， there is really only one thing standing between your sensitive information and criminals—your password. If they get it， they can get into banks accounts and private files. For this reason， it’s important to know what makes a password strong and secure.
Chances are， you use passwords everyday. The easy route is to have a simple password that works everywhere. Unfortunately， this can be a problem.
通常，个人敏感信息和犯罪分子之间仅有一墙之隔——密码。如果密码泄漏，他们就能肆无忌惮地入侵你的银行账户和私人文件。因此，知道怎样设置有难度又安全的密码就变得很重要。
密码天天用，你可以图方便，设置统一的密码。但这样做，准会出事。
Your job is to create a password that is very hard to guess. Here’s how：
Your first thought may be to use a birthdate， an address or parts of a phone number. These things are too easy for criminals to discover， so don’t use them.
First， your password should not include information about you.
Maybe it’s a favorite song lyric， or quote. Choose words are not in the dictionary. This makes guessing it harder. There are about 60，000 words in English. A computer can test out those words pretty quickly， so don’t use them. But there’s more. This password could still be stronger by adding upper case letters， numbers or special characters. So this is a very strong password—but there’s still a risk. If you write it down， be careful where you keep it. And be aware that someone can look over your shoulder or find it in your trash.
所以你需要做的就是，设置一个难破解的密码。怎么做呢？
通常生日，地址或电话号码都是密码的首选。但这类信息太容易泄漏，所以这样的密码想都别想。
首先，密码不应包含个人信息。
可以选喜欢的歌词或者名言。选择词典里没有的词，破解的难度就增加了。英语单词大概6万个，计算机可以将它们很快试个遍，千万别用这种密码。但还不保险。可以在密码里加入大写字母，数字或特殊字符。这样的密码就很有难度，但还是存在风险。如果把密码写在纸上，千万要小心。要当心别人偷看或从垃圾桶把密码翻出来。
Giving it to loved—ones is also risky. Only you should know your password.
Criminals may also try to fool you into handing it over via phone calls. Never tell anyone your password over the phone. And be careful when you get an email that asks for a password—it could be a scam.
To help avoid problems， don’t use the same password everywhere.
Also， be careful if you use a computer that is not yours. Let’s say you check email using a computer in a store， library or computer lab. You login， check email and walk away. The next person to use that computer now has access to your email account and all the information in it. Always remember to log out of each site you visit on a computer that isn’t yours.
Passwords are an essential part of life online. And if we’re not careful about keeping them secret， they can cause big problems. By understanding the risks and making passwords stronger， we can feel a little more secure.
把密码告诉亲友也有风险。自己保存密码才靠谱。
图书馆或网吧的电脑收邮件，登录了账号，查完邮件没退出就走了。下一个用电脑的人就能进入你的账户，所以一定要记得用完要退出账户。
犯罪分子也可能打电话进行诈骗。千万不要在电话里面告诉别人。收到要求输入密码的电子邮件时一定要小心，这可能是陷阱。
为了避免麻烦，不要在所有地方使用相同密码。
此外，在外使用电脑时要特别小心，比如用商店，图书馆或网吧的电脑查收邮件，登录了账号，查完邮件没退出就离开。下一个使用电脑的人就能进入你的账户查看信息，所以在外登录账户一定要记得退出。
网络生活离不开密码。如果我们对密码的保存不注意，很可能吃大亏。提高防范意识，设置强大的密码我们能省心不少。
