What is considered a strong, easy-to-remember card PIN?
In this sense, not always the longest or most difficult password is considered the best. Incidentally, many people can create such long and complex passwords that they end up forgetting or getting confused when using them.
Furthermore, it is also not recommended that you write down your passwords on paper to carry in your purse. Also, saving passwords in spreadsheets or folders on your computer can also be dangerous.
So what makes your password secure, and therefore easy to remember, is a password that is unique. That is, it is important that you do not use the same password in different places. That way, it will only make sense to you, and you won't be in danger of forgetting it.

Did you know that some precautions can prevent your data from leaking? For this, see in the post what you need to do to protect yourself.
Why is it important to have a strong password?
First of all, nowadays more and more personal data is becoming digitized. Thus, it is important that you protect your information from fraud, as well as your bank account and credit card details.
Therefore, your password will be your main protection against cyber attacks and intrusions. So, it's important that you create a card password that is strong and easy to remember.
How to create a strong and easy to remember password?
First, you can create a password that accepts letters and numbers, with random words that make sense to you. For example, you can add your favorite fruit, with the name of your primary school, the street where you work and your house number.
By the way, the important thing is that this password is unique and makes sense only to you. That way, you can use any other words you like, as long as they aren't a whole sentence from a movie or poem. So always look for random words.
Furthermore, the same applies to passwords that are only made up of numbers. Avoid numbers in sequence, or special dates. So the more random the better. So, so that you can remember the sequence of numbers, try to use fonts that are present in your everyday life. By the way, we separate some useful tips below.

Do not use equal numbers
First of all, avoid using equal numbers. This makes it difficult for automated software to find the possible combination of numbers you used to create your password. By the way, if you can introduce letters and symbols into your password, even better.
Avoid sequential numbers
Another mistake often made when creating passwords is using numbers in sequence. So, although you want to create a password that is easy to remember, this mistake can be fatal and your password will be easily cracked.
So, to create a strong and easy-to-remember card PIN, try to use random numbers that make some sense to you. This way it will still be safe and you can remember it when you need to use it.
Do not use special dates
In fact, this tends to be the most common mistake when creating a password. In this way, many people use birthdays, wedding dates, among other commemorative dates as a digital password.
While this is a safer practice than the sequence of numbers, it is also risky. That's because you could be the victim of a malicious person or someone who sees you consulting a document when entering the password.
Therefore, avoid using special dates and try to use numerical combinations that are as random as possible when creating your password.
Have two-step verification
So most platforms now offer two-step verification to gain access. In this way, you can add an extra layer of security to your account, thus making access difficult in case of theft or fraud.
Thus, two-step verification works great when the password is already compromised, thus protecting your digital account. So there are two verification codes that the system asks for.
First, access happens through the memorized password that you created yourself. Then, it is necessary to provide a second code that is generated temporarily and, generally, sent to the telephone, e-mail, or another means of your choice.
In this way, it is an extra temporary password that you use to access data after you have entered your usual password. However, it is optional and if desired, the user must register this option manually.
Update your password periodically
Finally, something that can also happen is someone who is discreetly accessing your account without you realizing it. Thus, the most effective way to block access is just to change your password.
By the way, try to change your password periodically, like every 3 months, for example. This way, you will always stay safe and prevent others from clandestinely accessing your digital accounts.
