How do I Choose a Strong Password?

Best Practice for Creating Strong Passwords

Do Not Do the Following:

• Never use only numbers or words in a password.
• Do Not Use Recognizable Words
• Do Not Use Words in Foreign Languages
• Do Not Use Personal Information (If the attacker knows your identity, the task of deducing your password becomes easier.)
• Do Not Invert Recognizable Words ( Good password checkers always reverse common word, so inverting a bad password does not make it any more secure.)

Do the Following:

• Make the Password At Least Eight Characters Long
• Mix Upper and Lower Case Letters
• Include Non-Alphanumeric Characters
• Pick a Password You Can Remember
