Choosing a good password.
You should choose a passphrase or sufficiently complex nonsense password.
A password should contain:
- Nonsense phrases (yep), bad punctuation; sTrangE capitaliZation, random di9gits, and mis-speled words. These all help make good passwords, no matter what language you use.
- No personal information. Nothing should publicly relate to you. Your home address, email address, or names of significant others are all poor choices.
- Nothing the same as other logins/passwords for your Internet life. Pick different passwords for each area of your life. Pick a password of appropriate strength for what it is protecting.
