Password tips
During the research I did on securing web sites after some morally challenged internet abuser defaced one of mine I learned that using strong passwords is very important. I won't get into the details of how passwords are found but here are a few tips to make your password difficult to discover.
- Do not use a dictionary word or a proper name or place name.
- Do not include any personal info such as birthday, address, make of car, pet name etc
- Use upper and lower case letters
- Include several numbers
- Include punctuation if allowed
- Make it as long as possible ( 10 characters or more)
Examples:
Bad: bozo ford 12345 admin password london george Atlanta
Better: biteme59times honkinghorn27
Even better: 73%bozoClownz. $Death-2-$pammers .IL2mkrobots.
