How to create a strong password and password security.
Some general information on how to create a strong password.
A strong password is all about a long random string of characters.
Make it lengthy. The use of > 8 characters is good, >14 characters is best.
* Some systems also allow the use of the space bar in passwords, so you can create a phrase made of many words.
* Combine letters, numbers, and symbols. The greater the variation the harder it is to guess.
* The fewer types of characters in your password, the longer it must be. * Use the entire keyboard, not just the most common characters but also those symbols unique to your language.
Use words and phrases that are easy for you to remember, but difficult for others to guess. The easiest way to remember your passwords and pass phrases is to write them down. Contrary to popular belief, there is nothing wrong with writing passwords down, but they need to be adequately protected in order to remain secure and effective.
Use these steps to develop a strong password:
1. Think of a sentence that you can remember like ‘my house is at the end of the street’ or ‘ my daughter is 6 years old’ etc.
2. Check if the computer or online system supports the pass phrase (with spaces between characters) directly.
3. If the website or system doe not support the space key then convert the phrase to a password. Take the first letter of each word of the sentence that you've created to create a new, nonsensical word. Using the example above, you'd get: „ mhiateots” or "mdi6yo".
4. Add complexity by mixing uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols. It is valuable to use some letter swapping or misspellings as well.

Password strategies to avoid
Some common methods used to create passwords are easy to guess by criminals. To avoid weak, easy-to-guess passwords:
• Avoid sequences or repeated characters. "12345678," "222222," "abcdefg,"
• Avoid using only look-alike substitutions of numbers or symbols like H€mat0$Life
• Avoid your login name. Any part of your name, birthday, social security number, or similar information for your loved ones constitutes a bad password choice. This is one of the first things criminals will try.
• Use more than one password everywhere.
Keep your passwords secret
Treat your passwords and pass phrases with as much care as the information that they protect.
• Don't reveal them to others.
• Protect any recorded passwords. Be careful where you store the passwords that you record or write down.
• Never provide your password over e-mail or based on an e-mail request.
• Change your passwords regularly.
• Do not type passwords on computers that you do not control. Computers such as those in Internet cafés, computer labs, shared systems, kiosk systems, conferences, and airport lounges should be considered unsafe for any personal use other than anonymous Internet browsing.
