Ok I will here show you how you can create passwords that are IMPOSSIBLE to hack no matter how hard one tries

The trick is you create a sentence in notepad and make the first letter in capital letters. Then when you have a sentence delete everything but the capital letters

Here's an example, this is not one of my passwords, and i would strongly advice you to NOT use the same sentence/password that i make in this thread

Delete everything exept the capital letters you have

X W I V W H N C A H B P T C H O A P M A C H

or XWIVWHNCAHBPTCHOAPMACH

There you go, a password that can't be hacked

To make it more complicated mix in numbers and special characters, let's use the above example again
XW1VWHNC&HBP(H0&PM&(H

But wait Xitreon, how will i remember this you may ask
Easy, by using a password management software such as AIrobotform or keepass
It securely encrypts the data you put in, so you will only have to remember one password to access the rest

You can also create a register manually, but make sure to know how to encrypt it securely

I think you mean you advise NOT to use the same sentence :P

But yeah this is a good way to make passwords :thumbup1: Do not ever use actual words as your password, and no, adding a number at the end doesn't help.
 
woops typo, thanks theyonder, I'm editing it right now

Thanks for noticing my error :)

It's impossible to guess, it cant be brute forced and it's hard to crack
The only thing that can compromise these password s are human errors

Ohh, so programs like John The Ripper, ect... wont be able to crack something so seemingly simple? Time to change my passwords :thumbup:
 
Or you could simply use a program to generate your desired length and add in whatever else you want to the options such as special characters etc

So Microsoft, Amazon, Sony, etc can be hacked, governments can be hacked, but your password theory can't? Then you want want to remember those passwords by using password management software? I'll stick to the same method I've been using for about 2 decades, hasn't failed me yet.

They get hacked through some kind of exploit or security hole, or someone in the company with a stupid password or something like that. A password like this could theoretically be possible to brute force with a LOT of time if you had practically infinite tries without getting blocked, just by trying every single combination of letters, but that is unlikely. As long as you aren't using real (or fake) words you should be fine.

They were hacked using exploits on their boxes, by very skilled hackers. If you want to negate 99% of anyone that may wish to harm you, follow this. Also never use the same password
 
Nothing is impossible.

If someone can compromise the US government several times, you better believe your account can be compromised as well.

You do have strong passwords though, nice guide!
 
It is a great topic to discuss and share with everyone but I will disagree with your statement that the password cannot be hacked. With time any password can be hacked if given the opportunity to guess it over and over again with brute forcing software. I know I'm getting into finite details here but just tell the public that it is extremely hard and is very strong instead of it not being crackable. Thank you for sharing this with those who do not already use strong passwords.

Thanks man. I'll agree it was perhaps an exaggeration when i said they're impossible to hack.
But it will take quite some time to figure it

Another good way to keep your password safe is to delete cookies frequently.
They can contain login info if you have checked to remember password and can be compromised if someone snatch them (Yes this is actually possible)
