They should include a blend of upper case, lower case, figures, and punctuation. That might sound insane, (I mean, who can remember all those watchwords!), but this is exactly what a word director is for.

Rather, the stylish practice is to use a unique word for every website or service you use.

The problem with this kind of geste is that if someone was suitable to guess, steal, or hack my word, they could use it to log in to all the popular websites that people use moment. It was accessible because I only had to remember one word, but it surely was not secure. Lots of people use the same word for multiple services. Good watchwords are both unique and complex. The more secure your word is, the less accessible it is. Where watchwords are concerned, there’s an inverse relationship between secure and accessible. My logins for all my special online services are stored safely in my word vault, and yours can be too. The vault is locked with a master word, and you can not pierce anything inside the vault without it. Inside the vault is a collection of all the watchwords I need, and no two are likewise.

Rather, I use the word director.Ī word director is like a vault for your watchwords. I do not have them learned, and I do not have them written down on post-it notes or in a super-secret word book. I log in to dozens of websites every day, and I could not tell you my word for any of them. Still, would you believe me? It’s principally true If I told you that I do not know any of my watchwords.
