OfficeDrop provides you with a long list of security features, but when it comes to your online account, your information can only be as secure as your account password. Hackers can take advantage of short or simple passwords, leaving many at risk. Essentially “12345″ is not going to cut it. We want your password strength to be high, so that you won’t give any hackers the satisfaction.
Fortunately there are several ways to make sure your password is bombproof. Imperva has provided a complete guide to password strengths and pitfalls here. We thought this article was very informative, and have outlined their main points to make sure your password is un-hackable, and that your documents stay secure.
4 Tips For Password Strength
1. Your password should be at least 8 characters long.
2. Your Password should contain a mix of numbers, upper case letters, lower case letter, and special characters (!@#$%).
3. Your password should not be a name, part of your email address, or any single word in the dictionary. This will protect you from password guessing and “dictionary attacks.”
4. It is recommended that your password is a shortened character representation of a sentence. For example, the phrase “safe from attack” could become the password “s8feFRM@ack.”
