The trust you place in Ferox is highly valued and we will always put you first.
We want to make sure you choose a secure password. To help you choose one, we've written some helpful tips for you.
Recent studies have shown that the only real factor in password strength is length. This means that the old habit of using complicated variations of letters, numbers and punctuation is not as secure as we thought.
Not only is a random combination of characters difficult to remember, it's also becoming less and less immune to certain kinds of password attacks. For example:
The password 'F3r0XS£cur(ty' is not as secure as the password 'FeroxSecurityIsTheBestEver'. The reason for this is all down to combinations.
Imagine you have no idea what a person's password is, and you had to attempt every single possible combination of characters until you found it. This is called a 'bruteforce' attack and is a common method hackers use to crack passwords.
The password 'F3r0XS£cur(ty' only has 13 characters in it, therefore you would need to try less combinations than if you were to try and crack the password 'FeroxSecurityIsTheBestEver', which has 26 characters in it.
Not only is 'FeroxSecurityIsTheBestEver' a more secure password, it's also much easier to remember. We recommend using phrases as passwords instead of what you might be used to. These phrases could be lines from poems or songs you love (for example 'NeverGonnaGiveYouUp') or they could be memorable lines from a film ('ElementaryMyDearWatson'). Your imagination is the limit. We take password lengths of around 70 characters, more than enough to keep secure.
