How secure is my password?

How secure is my password?

WARNING: DON’T ACTUALLY ENTER YOUR REAL PASSWORD INTO THIS. TRY A PASSWORD SIMILAR/WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF DIGITS, it’s to prove a point!

Sites like How Secure Is My Password use science to work out how easy your password is to crack, of course when testing your own password it’s a good idea not to enter the exact one in case someone is watching you. This may open your eyes to how vulnerable your passwords can be!

How else can I keep my data secure?

  1. Use a VPN whenever on public internet
  2. Use a unique password for each website and store them in a Password Manager like 1Password
  3. Keep your top-level email account (i.e. the one where password email resets will go) extra secure by not using a password manager and NEVER share this password with any other sites.

Important things to remember with everything we post:

  • If you earn over your personal allowance (currently £12,570 a year) HMRC need to get their % cut (even if the money is in cash or from another country)
  • If you’re working for yourself / earning an income on the side you need to let HMRC know – There are numerous benefits but also some drawbacks
  • You need to always ensure whatever you’re doing is legal and not hurting anyone else – be careful and always think twice
  • Some income streams may require you to have DBS check, licence, insurance or qualifications before you can start to profit from it, do your research.
  • Be careful that any additional income doesn’t compromise your studies or main income/job
  • If you work for a company check your contract, if you don’t inform them you’re working on other side projects outside of work they may have grounds to ownership on this work
