How to make a good password ?

Hello everybody. For this first article, I will explain how I go about finding a good password to use on my accounts. This step is often overlooked and it would be a shame to have your account hacked because of a weak password. Even if you use a 2FA

1 – Use a password generator

It may be stupid to say like that, but it is indeed a solution. And see this as an opportunity to get into programming if you haven’t already. A small script in python language which takes 5 minutes to be done and which will allow you to generate a password easily.

import random
import string
import os
import time

randomletters = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ@_-.,=)(/&%ç*"+$'


os.system("color a")


def gen_pass(length):
    letters = randomletters
    result_str = ''.join(random.choice(letters) for i in range(length))
    return result_str

number = input("\n\nHow much passwords do you want to generate ? : ")

try: number = int(number)

except:
	print("\nPlease, but a number : ")

else:

	file = "pass.txt"

	file = open("pass.txt", "w")


	for i in range(number):
		result = gen_pass(24)
		result2 = gen_pass(6)
		result3 = gen_pass(27)
		file.write(f"\n{result}{result2}{result3}")
	
	file.close()

	print("\n\nPasswords set on \"pass.txt\"")

	time.sleep(100)

2 – Choose a password you can remember

Choose a password that speaks to you, that makes sense to you, make a sentence with capital letters, punctuation and turn it into a password.

For example :

A sentence: I love pizzas
the password: Il0V3.p1zZa5.
