Hint for the week - passwords

If you belong to the group who use the same password for many accounts and an easy to remember one, then you are not alone. Its easy on the head not to have to remember words that have no meaning and (horror of horrors) pecking out symbols on the keyboard. But if you want to remain safe on the net then these hints should strengthen your passwords.

Use a jumble of numbers and letters. Throw in a few symbols as well such as the % or & sign.

Use at least eight characters and randomly capitalize.

The big no no is to avoid using your birthday, personal names of family members, your house address number and easy strings such as 123 or abc.

If you have different accounts use different passwords, though the temptation is great to just make do with the same one.

Change passwords for important accounts at least once in three months.

Avoid using actual words in any language. Password crackers run language dictionaries to find passwords. Not at all difficult for them. They can run through thousands of words in minutes until they find your word.

After going through all these hints how do you remember the password that makes no sense? Best safe storage is good old pen and paper. Not on your computer
