Tips on how to create a better password

 

 

Avoid:

• a short password
• only lowercase letters
• a word out of the dictionary
• using the same password for all your different accounts

 

 

Do:

• change your password on a regular basis   
• use at least 8 characters
• include upper and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols
• use different passwords

 

 

How to remember your password:

Think of a meaningful sentence, song lyric, quote or catchphrase.  For example:

As Bill Gates once said:  "640K ought to be enough for anybody"

So your password could be 64Oko2be4A

If you use hotmail you could use:  H64Oko2be4A and for a Google account G64Oko2be4A and for your wiki W64Oko2be4A.
