Nowadays the problem of network security is a key issue. More and more often we use Internet and mobile solutions and their customization usually associated with logging, which requires a password. Today, a few words about how to create a strong password that is secure.
Without any admission are a few key principles for creating a strong password:

websites and applications on the phone – use 2-3 different variants of the same password – that’s something – very simple suggestion is to build alternans password eg .:
12ABpassword34 interchangeably with 34ABpassword12 or 34abPASSWORD12
The above example shows how easy it is to modify the same strong password to remember and use one of its variants.
