最強的密碼不是「P@ssw0rd!」這種——是四個隨機的普通單字。長度比符號重要得多。

Safety Town安全小鎮

12 個可以點的單字 · 可以隨時暫停、轉動場景

逐字稿(14 段)
  1. 1Welcome to Safety Town. Here you will learn how to keep your accounts safe online.歡迎來到安全小鎮。在這裡學會怎麼保護你的網路帳號。
  2. 2A password is the lock on your account. People think symbols make it strong. That advice is mostly wrong.密碼是你帳號的鎖。大家以為加符號就很強,這個建議大部分是錯的。
  3. 3Letters, numbers and symbols are all characters. Every extra character multiplies the work for an attacker.字母、數字、符號都是字元。每多一個字元,攻擊者的工作量就翻好幾倍。
  4. 4The strongest passwords are four random ordinary words. A line from a song is not random.最強的密碼是四個隨機的普通單字。一句歌詞可不算隨機。
  5. 5A computer can guess a short password like cat instantly. A long one would take effectively forever.像 cat 這種短密碼,電腦一瞬間就猜得到;長的密碼則是實質上永遠猜不完。
  6. 6Never reuse a password. One key should never open more than one door.密碼不要重複使用。一把鑰匙不該打得開第二扇門。
  7. 7When a site is breached, attackers try the same email and password everywhere else.某個網站被入侵時,攻擊者會拿同一組帳號密碼去試其他所有地方。
  8. 8So one leaked password can open every door that uses it.所以一組外洩的密碼,打得開每一扇用同一把鑰匙的門。
  9. 9This is phishing. The attacker uses a message as bait and waits for you to bite.這就是釣魚詐騙。攻擊者拿一則訊息當誘餌,等你上鉤。
  10. 10Phishing creates urgency: your account will be closed in 24 hours! Real organisations rarely rush you.釣魚訊息會製造急迫感:「您的帳號將在 24 小時內關閉!」真正的機構很少催你。
  11. 11Anyone can copy a logo perfectly. Check the domain in the address bar instead.標誌誰都能抄得一模一樣。要看的是網址列上的網域。
  12. 12Assume anything you post is permanent. Deleting it does not delete the screenshots other people made.當作貼出去的東西刪不掉。刪掉貼文,刪不掉別人已經存下的截圖。
  13. 13The weakest part is often a person who is persuaded to hand over the key. Tell a trusted adult.最脆弱的環節,常常是有人被說服交出鑰匙。這時候要告訴信任的大人。
  14. 14Now it's your turn. Walk around Safety Town and click on anything you see.現在換你了。在安全小鎮逛一圈,點點看你看到的每一樣東西。

Length Beats Symbols長度勝過符號

People are taught to make passwords complicated: capital letters, numbers, symbols. That advice is mostly wrong.大家被教導把密碼弄複雜:大寫字母、數字、符號。這個建議大部分是錯的。

A computer guessing passwords does not find symbols hard. It finds length hard, because every extra character multiplies the work.電腦在猜密碼時並不覺得符號難。它覺得難的是長度,因為每多一個字元,工作量就翻倍再翻倍。

Four random ordinary words are far stronger than a short password full of symbols, and much easier to remember.四個隨機的普通單字,比一個短又滿是符號的密碼強得多,而且好記得多。

The word random matters. A phrase from a song is not random, because attackers try song lyrics too.「隨機」這兩個字很重要。歌詞不算隨機,因為攻擊者也會拿歌詞來試。

The Rules That Actually Help真正有用的幾條

Never reuse a password密碼不要重複用
When one site is breached, attackers try that same email and password everywhere else. One leaked password should never open more than one door.某個網站被入侵時,攻擊者會拿同一組帳密去試其他所有地方。一組外洩的密碼不該打得開第二扇門。
Turn on two-factor authentication打開兩步驟驗證
A second step — a code from an app — means a stolen password alone is not enough. This is the single most effective thing you can do.多一個步驟——例如來自 App 的驗證碼——就代表光有密碼還進不去。這是你能做的最有效的一件事。
Phishing creates urgency釣魚訊息會製造急迫感
Your account will be closed in 24 hours. Real organisations rarely rush you. Urgency plus a link is the clearest warning sign there is.「您的帳號將在 24 小時內關閉」——真正的機構很少催你。急迫感加上一個連結,是最明顯的警訊。
Check the address, not the logo看網址,不是看標誌
Anyone can copy a logo perfectly. Nobody else can own the real domain name, so the address bar is what you check.任何人都能把標誌複製得一模一樣。但沒有人能擁有真正的網域名稱,所以要看的是網址列。
Assume anything posted is permanent當作貼出去的東西刪不掉
Screenshots exist. Deleting a post does not delete the copies other people already made.截圖是存在的。刪掉一則貼文,不會刪掉別人早就存下來的副本。

How Long Would It Take to Guess?猜出來要多久?

Password 密碼Length 長度Roughly 大約
cat3Instantly 瞬間
P@ssw0rd8Very fast — it is a known pattern 非常快,這是已知的套路
kD9#mQ2x8Hours to days 數小時到數天
correct horse battery staple28Effectively for ever 實質上永遠猜不完

資料查證至 2025 年底

這些是概略量級,實際數字隨攻擊者的硬體而變。要記住的是順序:把 a 換成 @ 幾乎沒有幫助,多加幾個單字幫助非常大。

Did You Know?你知道嗎?

  • A password manager remembers a different long random password for every site, so you only have to remember one.密碼管理員替每個網站記住一組不同的長隨機密碼,你只要記住一組就好。
  • Public Wi-Fi is safer than it used to be, because almost every site now uses HTTPS and encrypts the traffic.公共 Wi-Fi 比以前安全,因為現在幾乎每個網站都用 HTTPS 加密流量。
  • If a message says do not tell anyone, that is itself the warning sign. Telling a trusted adult is exactly the right move.如果一則訊息說「不要告訴任何人」,那本身就是警訊。告訴信任的大人正是該做的事。
  • The weakest part of most systems is not the software. It is someone being persuaded to hand over the key.多數系統最脆弱的環節不是軟體,而是有人被說服交出鑰匙。
