Hackers hate special characters and it appears to be particularly strong method for passwords, because a special character may not be entered using normal keys. In order to decrease the access code violations, hackers often exclude them from checking. Their typing is a bit cumbersome and because of that, hacker’s efforts of counting keystrokes are thrown off. The special characters require a larger number of keys, for example the sign “®” is obtained by holding down the [Alt] and pressing the numeric string “0174″- a sign therefore requires five strokes. Below is a list of special characters. Using them not only impedes forceful attacks, but also causes the classic dictionary attacks to fail. The only difficulty may be a consideration of where the use of special characters is available for passwords. The kit available on mobile phones is generally very limited, so this method may be limited for here.
