how to choose your password


Top 10 Tips to Choose the Password

1) Come up with something that has nothing to do with your personality. It will leave the trespassers guessing.

2)Make up nonsense words. It will be almost impossible to guess it.

3) Don't tell your password to anyone! You may want to give your password to your parent or spouse in case of an emergency, but no one else.

4) Don't give it online. If someone over the Internet asks for your login password to, for example, help do some html coding for your webs.com site or pass a level on the computer game, say no! Rather ask them whether they could explain it to you instead.

5) Try to mix your password with numbers. The more digits, the more possible combination. The more combination, the harder it is to crack the password.

6) Use something familiar for your password. If you can't think of anything, choose a password about a family member. Try one that you haven't seen in months or years, or one that has been deceased for quite a while.

7) Change it when necessary. Make a few times a year when you change something in your password.

8) Change it if you have any suspicious feelings of someone knowing your password. Change it whether you know it as a fact or not! If you don't want to change your password into something completely different, use the step above and just change a small aspect of it.

9) Keep the password between 6-12 characters long because some things that require you to have a password for have character minimums and maximums of around 6 (min) and 12 (max).
 
10) Write it down on a piece of paper until you memorize it. After you have memorized it rip it up, throw it into multiple garbage bins. You don't want anybody finding it. Remember to hide it while you have it.
