Create a 4-letter password for Windows 8. It should be simple but secure enough for your system.
Create a 4-letter password for Windows 8. It should be simple but secure enough for your system.
I don’t fear this kind of security issue. It’s about family members. Setting windows to skip asking for a password after sleep isn’t practical—it ruins the purpose. My relatives aren’t tech-savvy, but I saw how quickly my mom’s password was cracked on her laptop (just six numbers and two letters). I have a strong password that makes it nearly impossible to read. I’ve tested it with others; they can’t guess it. I’m familiar with Linux and Ubuntu—I used Ubuntu to change my sister’s password when she forgot hers, and my dad reset his own after losing it. I don’t want someone like my cozen accessing my computer while I’m at work, especially if it’s a game that only allows one save file or worse, DayZ! If I need an 8-character password, I’ll have to leave my computer on all the time, because it’s too annoying to type such long codes every time. It just doesn’t work.
