Information literacy


Why do I need to make my passwords complex?


Mr. Shuhei Sumikawa and Mr. Hiroyuki Kitamura from the Cyber Crime Control Section, Community Safety Division, Nara Prefectural Police Headquarters, said,

Simple passwords are easy to crack, so you need to have a complex password.
If your password is deciphered, your account may be hijacked, or your credit card may be used without your permission. Think of your password as being as important as your house key.

Mr. Zenhiro Takeda of the Life Safety Division, Koriyama Police Station, said,

It is extremely dangerous to set passwords that can be used to guess your name, date of birth, or other information about yourself.
The more complex the password, the harder it is to break, and the less likely you are to be victimized.

How to create the strongest passwords!


Mr. Zenhiro Takeda also taught us how to create the best password.

1 　Set the length as long as possible.
　(Anything over 15 characters is relatively safe!)
2 　Mix uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
　(For example, "agworaog" would not be great,
but a password like "Aes4K24k@-aer216" would be great!)
3 　 It should be hard to guess.
　(Don't use abc, password, 1234, or your birthday etc.!)
4 　Set a different password for each site you use.
　(Helps when someone breaks your password on one site!)


Setting a password is the first step in protecting yourself!
By all means, protect yourself with the strongest password you can find!
