Don't Use The Same Password For Every Website
 
This is the most common problem which many of us simply ignores. Although their is a very valid reason that you can’t remember different passwords for each and every website especially if you are linked with 20 or 30+ websites. But just think for a while that if a hacker hacks any one of your accounts password, the rest of your online information is at risk. Now you know what i'm talking About!!!
 
Are You Asking Me To Make 100 Passwords?
 
Yes …. but you don't need to remember 100 passwords when you have 1 rule set for generating them. Means before making a password, make a general rule of Thumb that how your all passwords will be alike.
