Passwords

Hi!

Today we are going to talk about passwords, something very important in our lives, because we have many things with passwords, like, the mobile phones, the computers, the emails, social media, or games.

So, I´m going to tell you 6 recommendations to have a secure password:

1. It should have more than 8 elements

2. It can´t have something similar to your name, username, the name of the place you work...

3.It can´t include information about you, like the date or the place of birth, ID...

4. It can´t include words from the dictionary in any language

5. It isn´t formed with numbers or letters that are near in the keyboard

6. It should contain elements of this groups:

-Capitail letters: A, B, C...
-Small letters: a, b, c...
-Digits: 0, 1, 2, 3...
-Special elements: $, %, (, ), &, ^...

Another recommendation is to don´t use the same password in all your accounts, and for don´t forget them, you can use a Password manager.
We can use programs that help us remember all the passwords we need and also meet all the necesary requirements to make the password secure and strong.

Here you can check your password strength and take the ones that are more secure: https://howsecureismypassword.net/

And now let´s talk about the most common passwords:

1º 123456
2º password
3º qwerty

I give you 5 secure passwords:

• ICTAida4ºESO
• OSEº4adiATCI (is like the first one but backwards)
• HoWsEcUrEiSmYpAsSwOrD?
• ObamaForPresident!
• eSPaÑa-2017

With this we have finished, so...

Type of users!

Hi!

Today in class we had learnt something about type of users, there are two types:

• Local users; they can be used on one machine there are two types: standar or administrator

            -Standar user: users that have limited power in the system. They are not able to create new                     users or change basic configuration parameters like IP Address or even install software.

            -Administrator user: these users have total access to the system, and they can create users 

              accounts, change passwords for other users.

• Domain users: They are a group of machines and only one, can control the others.

+Advantages: You don´t need a password of each device if you have the domain user

-Disadvantages: If the network is down you can´t access to your computer
