Surely you haven’t missed out on the fact that meanwhile everything possible is to be secured with a password. And of course it must always be a new one, so that in the event of a data leak, hackers cannot log on to other services with the password they got.
Who makes the mistake and chooses a password, which appears in the following list, should not be surprised if his account is hacked.
Here are the Top-19 in 2022:
- 123456
- 123456789
- Qwerty
- Password
- 12345
- 12345678
- 111111
- 1234567
- 123123
- Qwerty123
- 1q2w3e
- 1234567890
- DEFAULT
- Abc123
- 654321
- 123321
- Qwertyuiop
- Iloveyou
- 666666

So it makes sense to choose an extra-ordinary password. But unfortunately the search is not so easy. Some recommend to create a password set related to the account and then use the first letters:
I use Facebook to keep in touch with my friends.
This results in the following password:
IuFtkitwmf.
In addition, there are websites that generate such words online. On Excel-template.net you can also find a list with which you can manage your words.
But we want to come to our password with a completely different possibility. A generator consisting of random values in Excel cells.
This generator consists of a table with 10 on 10 cells. In each cell, a pair of characters is automatically generated. If you now print out this table, you can use a marker to generate a password for a specific purpose. It is best to hide this analogous list in a secret place.
Adjustment of the values of the password generator
By the way, the characters in the cells are taken from a list that is also in the Excel file. If you scroll a bit to the right into the column “Z” you can see them. There you can add other characters or delete values. The generator should still work then.
