Passwords: The bane of every users life
Everybody hates passwords as they can never remember them, but they are a necessary evil if you want to remain safe in the online environment. You wouldn’t leave your house without locking the doors, it should be the same with your online accounts. Passwords are your lock and key.
Below are some tips on creating passwords that are secure, but easy to remember :
Passwords should be strong enough to protect your organisation. However, very complex passwords can be hard to remember, resulting in people choosing weaker passwords or repeating them across accounts.
Use or include three random words such as “horsebatterystaple” in your password to help protect against common issues like brute force attacks (where an attacker tries many passwords with the hope of guessing it correctly), while keeping it simple enough to remember. You can also include symbols, capital letters and numbers to make it even more secure.
Passwords should always be enabled, for example on mobile phones and laptops, and default passwords should always be changed to something unique by the user. They should also be changed in the event of a loss, for example if you’ve witnessed suspicious activity being undertaken on the account.

What our customers say
Having recently moved to the area I found my self needing more tech help as my business is growing. I wanted to find someone who would talk through options for a new Mac in a language I understood, as I have no background in computer tech. Alison took the time to explain the different memory options etc and how I could get a good value for money replacement for my very old Mac. Alison then helped all the with the, I believe the term is migration from one device to another.
Alison has always been able to answer questions that I would have normally felt silly asking. I have now spent quite a few hours at her desk whilst she patiently shows me how to do things and show what is possible with the device I have bought.
I will defiantly be using her services from now on. I would highly recommend Alison to anyone who is often overwhelmed by computer technology for her calm, can do attitude and everything is possible if you know how. Alison is at the end of a phone and offers a great customer service which makes her standout from other companies.
I cannot rate her services highly enough.Thank you
