Strong Password

What is password actually? 

"a secret word or phrase that must be used to gain admission to a place."*
"a string of characters that allows access to a computer, interface, or system."*

* Google definition

From technical point of view, password can be used in many different ways, mostly it just allows an access to the resources but its role ends with simple comparison of strings. On the other hand, passwords are used as a key or "key to make a proper and complex key" which is used in data encryption process. 

The more complex (long and complicated) the password is the strongest the encryption will be. You should know that these makes the password strong:
  • at least 6 characters
  • contains small letters
  • contains capital letters
  • contains numbers
  • contains symbols
  • does not represent anyones birthday or any anniversary date
  • does not represent anyones name or nickname
  • better if it does not have any human meaning at all

Quite long list!
How to create the perfect password then? answer is simple, use a tool!


With this new update the Secure Temple application version 1.1.0 is equipped with password generator. How simple is it now? just press a button and you will have strong password candidate.

With this new update I have also introduced a new way to access the database - the Temple. One can make the Main Temple and define type of password to. If digital one is preferred (even if its not strong enough) by using randomly generated keyboard we can protect ourselves from 3rd party observers. Try it! let me know your opinion.
