Simple tips for a secure login technique

With many facilities on the Internet that require access entry (login) such as email, web access servers and other accounts, then we should be more careful, especially if we account strictly confidential and valuable. This is especially if you frequently log in through another person's computer or Internet cafe. One application is to be aware of is the "keylogger". This application typically runs hidden, the objective record letter by letter typed by the user computer, which can then be sent to specific addresses or for viewing later. If we are in the process of login (typing your Username and Password for instance), and apparently there is a keylogger on the computer, the username and password is typed will be recorded, making it very easy to accounts we've become the property of others. Well if this could be serious ...

If we have a lot of accounts, then it is better we use special software such as KeePass Password Safe, Password Safe and similar applications. But sometimes the use of these tools are not practical (inconvenient) or maybe you forgot did not bring the application. Here there is an alternative tips to login:

* Give the focus where it (which can be used for writing letters), than the place to write your username / password
* Type the letters randomly
* Now write in the username / passsword one or more letters
* Repeat outside the box to type a password with random letters and went back to typing username / password
* The process was repeated until the write username / password is completed

With the tips above, although we could username and password is recorded by a keylogger, but it was mixed with random letters that we write. And this certainly will make people who might steal our passwords.
