Google Tips to have your Email Password

Online security is the most important one for those who have the user accounts in the internet. Now recently more than 30,000 email accounts are compromised from all over the major web mail service providers. It becomes the serious issue that most of the accounts passwords are stolen by using the common phishing schemes. This is due to the lack in providing the proper security measures by the web email providers. Among the various mail providers, Google is also the one but it claims that only across 500 Gmail accounts are compromised. In order to overcome this issue, Gmail is providing the great tips that help you to secure your Email Accounts and they are to be continued.

The first tip is to have different passwords for the different accounts and service products. This is because when using same passwords for every account, if one account is compromised then the attacker can apply the data for all the account and access the user information. The second thing is using the weak passwords that are created by common words of phrases. However Google suggests its users to create a password of having a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters plus numeric numbers and symbols, which makes it difficult for a hacker or an automated attacker to determine it.

Most common mistakes in using the passwords is having a name of their pet names or favorite personality, which is easy for them to remember but it makes the attacker easy to guess the password and find your information. Some of the people write down their password in their computer file or in some important paper and left around in order to remember if they got forgotten. So that Google suggest not storing the password in common files of the office computer, or leaving the paper written password lying around the office that makes easy for others to steal.

Even some time we may forget the password for the websites that we may often visit. On this occasion most sites ask you to type the security questions or to enter the email address for retrieving the password. But this is also made easy for the attackers to steal the passwords. Hence a nice tip for you to use the information, that is not easily known by others to steal your passwords.
