You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must be careful of others! Today, when hackers are prevalent, improving one's own defense level is the top priority. But we cannot just stay on the slogan, we must adopt strict technical means. Taking the various passwords we use most as an example, how can we prevent both peeking out and hacking software from secretly checking? This article will teach you a trick to make your password safer!
For security reasons, the input and saving of passwords in the computer are displayed with the "*" sign. In this way, others cannot view the content of the password. Many users think that this will make you rest assured, but the fact is cruel. This method of password protection is only to guard against gentlemen and not villains. Some people with ulterior motives usually use remote monitoring of the screen and use password viewing software to easily restore the password. Reality forces us to take more rigorous measures.
We can use fonts that cannot be displayed by the system by default as password source characters. Taking Windows 2000/XP as an example, the text displayed by the system by default is "Song-style" and the character set is "Simplified Chinese GB2312". If you select text that is not in GB2312 as password characters (such as the Song-Fangzheng super large character set installed with Office XP), the system will not be able to display these passwords correctly, but will only display them as garbled codes such as "□", "space" or "?", even if you use the password to view the software, this will achieve the purpose of preventing hackers from obtaining passwords. The principle is not complicated, but it also requires many aspects of knowledge in actual operation.
1. Make password characters
(1) First, get the password characters through Office XP's "Song-Fangzheng Super Large Character Set". Click "Start → All Programs → Attachments → System Tools → Character Mapping Table", and after opening the window, select "SongTi-Fangzheng Super Large Character Set" in the font list. Then pull the scrollbar to the "Show CJK Extended A" character range (Note: You can see the prompt below the window), select and double-click the character you want as the password, and then click "Copy" to send the password character to the clipboard.
Tip: To be on the safe side, you can paste these characters into Notepad first to confirm that the system cannot display them.
(2) Open the application that needs to set a password and paste the above characters into the password box. For example, you can use the characters shown in Figure 2 as the QQ login password, so that you don’t have to worry about hackers monitoring your screen, even if he enables the password viewing software, all he can see is just a string? Number.
Tip: Some websites, forums or email addresses do not support using such characters as passwords. Do not use the above method to set the password.
2. Password management
Because the general input method cannot directly enter CJK extended characters, for the convenience of use, you can use Word's hyperlink function to store or manage passwords. First, select "SongTi-Fangzheng Extra Large Character Set" from Word XP and paste the password characters into the document. Then add a hyperlink to the character, and the link address is the QQ program. In this way, the next time you need to change your QQ login password, just click the hyperlink in the document to start QQ, and then paste this password character into the password box. In addition, this Word document should be saved encrypted and encrypted.
3. Prevent password decryption
To prevent people familiar with this method from deciphering, you can also use the system's own location code input method to enter text that is not encoded in the system font library. In this way, even if you select "Fangzheng Extra Large Character Set" you cannot display the password normally (it is only displayed as spaces).
(1) Open the control panel, double-click "Region and Language Options", click "Language → Details", select "Simplified Chinese (Inner Code)" in the installed service list, click "Add", and add it to the input method list.
(2) Where you need to enter a password, select the internal code input method and enter the encoding between aaa1-affe (such as aaa2, aaa3,......). Since the system font library does not have these encoded characters, the system is displayed in spaces. However, since the specific characters cannot be displayed, it is more troublesome to change the password again, and you need to remember the code entered at that time.
