So, with that in mind, take the first letter of every word in a sentence or song lyric that is very memorable to you and add a few numbers and\/or special characters to the end of it to create a password that is complex yet unique to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Utilise your keyboard for inspiration<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Use your imagination to create meaningful patterns across your keyboard to enable you to come up with a robust password. Try to make it a geometrical shape and make sure to include letters alongside numbers when envisioning your geometrical shape on the keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Consider a reputable password manager<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many well-developed password managers now available, why not take the hassle of having to remember the login credentials of each of your online accounts\/applications and entrust them to a password manager. Password managers store your login information for all your online accounts\/applications in one place and help you log into them automatically. They encrypt your password database with a secure master password (the only password you will have to remember).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Methodology for the Research<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rebootonline.com\/\">Reboot Online Marketing<\/a> analysed online data from analytics tool <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/\">Ahrefs<\/a> to discover which online accounts\/applications internet users most forget the password for.<\/li><li>To do so, Reboot Online Marketing identified three key online search terms\/phrases internet users most use when they cannot remember a password for a certain online account\/application \u2013 they are \u2018forgot password\u2019, \u2018change password\u2019 and \u2018reset password\u2019.<\/li><li>Thereafter, each of the three key online search terms\/phrases were inserted into the Ahrefs database, which in turn presented the specific online account\/application brands\/companies being the most searched online under each of the three key terms\/phrases.<\/li><li>For instance: there are an average 80,800 global monthly online searches for \u2018<em>forgot Gmail password<\/em>\u2019, there are an average 335,500 global monthly online searches for \u2018<em>change Gmail password<\/em>\u2019 and there are an average 37,800 global monthly online searches for \u2018<em>reset Gmail password<\/em>\u2019 \u2013 to get an overall overview the three figures were added together so show the average global online searches for people forgetting their Gmail password each month.<\/li><li>The process from stage four was repeated for all the other popular online account\/application brands\/companiesthat kept recurring for each of the three key online search terms\/phrases \u2013 they included the likes of Apple ID, Facebook, Discord and many more.<\/li><li>Once the search volumes for each of the three key terms\/phrases were added together for each specific online account\/application brand\/company \u2013 they were ranked from highest to lowest based on the variable \u2018average global monthly online searches for forgot password\u2019 and then the online account\/application brands\/companies where this was most the case were presented in the final results table as the top 10.<\/li><li>Reboot Online Marketing did take into account the variations in which people search for the same thing online but in different ways e.g. \u2018Gmail\u2019 and \u2018Google Mail\u2019 also \u2018PSN\u2019 and \u2018PlayStation Network\u2019.<\/li><li>All results were correct at the time of analysis and are subject to change based on fluctuations in global online searches.<\/li><li>NOTE: When analysing the data, each of the three key online search terms\/phrases related to forgetting passwords were assessed in English as well as each country\u2019s respective primary language (where applicable) to increase the reliability of results.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With many of us now carrying out a multitude of tasks\/activities online, one of the biggest problems we consistently experience is correctlyremembering the password for our respective online accounts\/applications such as email and social media.
