why passwords should be greater than 6 letters?

Answer 1

Passwords are used to protect ones account from supposed hackers and others who simply doesn't know the meaning of the word "Privacy".Your password must be longer because there are less combinations one can think of.
Also, try making your password somewhat odd like...
(*SikATunA*)
It isn't usual of people to use sticky caps and/or asteris(*) or parenthesis' (()) so it's safer. Passwords are like your safes, and you need to make it complicated, long, but easy for YOU to remember.

Answer 2

When using short password (less than 6 characters), you are almost forced to use something cryptic because no meaningful words can be used. The best short passwords use a combination of upper/lower case and numbers in between like "be44ar" is much harder to crack than "bear44". The "hackers" know people likely put numbers at just the beginning or end of a password, and usually only one or two. They then guess letters for the rest and that greatly reduces the number of selections.
With Long Passwords (6 characters or more) you can form phrases which can be easier to remember and almost impossible to hack in a time less than years! The use of both Capital and lower case letters, including numbers, makes the hackers job more difficult and by including those special characters in positions other than the beginning or end makes it almost impossible. For example: Mary4joe&Cookie, i2love4You

Answer 3

Passwords are a sort of key which lets you in to something you don't want anyone else to see. Someone may always try to hack your account, by using a sort of program. The more longer a password the tougher it gets for a person to hack. Also numbers in the password help.

Answer 4

Make your password as long as possible. The longer it is, the more difficult it will be to attack the password with a brute-force search. Always use at least 6 characters in your password, at least two of which are numeric.

Answer 5

A longer and more complicated password is much less likely to be 'accidentally' discovered, and helps ensure that your private details don't fall into the wrong hands.

Answer 6

Mathematically speaking, the longer your password is, the more difficult it is for someone (or a computer program) to figure it out.
