5 Ways to Choose a Good Password
By Cathryn Conroy
A good password is one that is easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess.
First, this is what you should never do:
Don't use your children's names, your birthday, your alma mater or any personal information that is easily guessed.
Don't use the 10 most common passwords: God, love, lust, money, private, qwerty, secret, sex, Snoopy and password.
Don't use words that can be found in the dictionary.
So how do you choose an effective password?

Do one of these:
1. Think of a sentence that is easy for you to remember and then make your password the first letter of each word in that sentence.Example: "The baby is due on September 30" becomes the password tbidos30
2. Choose a word or phrase you can easily remember and then insert random numbers between the letters. Example: george870clooney539
3. Slightly change a familiar phrase by purposely misspelling it.Example: Two tickets to paradise becomes 2Tickets2Paradiz
4. Do what you're not supposed to do: Choose your name or birthday. But instead of using the actual name or date, type it one character to the right on the keyboard. Example: BrianJones becomes NtosmKpmrd
5. The best password, although it can be hard to remember, is one that is just random characters.Example: rj9kx3hla

Important advice:
No password is totally secure. Every password can be cracked. The best you can do is to make it difficult for someone to figure it out.
The worst password? That's the one you forgot!
Change your password often.
The more important the password, the more frequently you should change it.
Choose a long password. The longer it is, the harder it is to guess.
If you must write down your password, hide the paper.
Never give your password to anyone for any reason, and if you do, change it immediately.
