Daily Tip 19 – Use Strong Passwords

You’ve probably heard that a good password should use a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numerals, and “special characters” (like the characters % $ ! ^ ] { etc.). Some sites don’t allow the use of some of these. But perhaps the biggest problem is that a “strong” password is one that people often think they can’t remember. So they decide to create something they can remember instead. These often are not very good passwords.

What if you could have both: a strong password and the ability to remember it?

Try this. Come up with a sentence that you will remember. Take the first letter of each word. Throw in a couple numbers and special characters.

While this is not a Great password, is can create a Good password, as long as the result is long enough and not guessable.
