How to create a secure password
We have found that www.getsafeonline.org has valuable information about how to choose secure passwords. Here is an excerpt copy of that page.>
Use Strong Passwords
- DO NOT USE WORDS IN SHORT PASSWORDS:
- Do not use words that can be found in a common dictionary.
- Do not use user names, real names, company names or e.g. favourite football team names> - USE LONG PASSWORD: Have at least seven characters long passwords. Longer passwords are harder to guess or break. You can use words only if you have a very long password.
- DO NOT USE COMMON NUMBERS: Do not use numbers like years, birthday numbers, etc.
- MIX THE TYPE OF CHARACTERS:
- Use a mix of upper and lower case letters
- Use numbers
- Do NOT use symbols like "! @ # $ % & * _ +")> as they may create login problems.
How to create a good password
Choose a sentence like "Love the Way you Lie!" or a song text. Choose also some numbers and you have a great password like "LtWyL134". (Do not use this example!). But also a text like "I like Love the Way you Lie!" is a good password.
