Topic: Tips for creating a good password

[sam]

# Choose a password with at least 8 characters. Mix up the password
with different characters such as letters and numbers.

# Be sure to change your password regularly and use different
passwords for different services

# If you a going to keep a written reminder of your password, keep
it far away from your computer.

# Never use a password that is too easy for anyone to find out.
Passwords that hackers first attempt are "blank", "password", and
"administrator."
 
# Never use a password that would be easy for someone who knows you
could figure out. Easy passwords to find are: birthdays, maiden name,
last name, place of birth, etc.

# Never use your login as your password!
