Choosing Good Passwords

Most of us like to create our own passwords. Here are a few guidelines for this task:

• The best password is one that's unassociated with you, the user, because a clever intruder who knows about you could possibly crack such a password. On the other hand, a password that has no association with the user may be easily forgettable. Users solve this problem in a number of insecure ways, ranging from writing their passwords on post-its that they affix to their monitors to leaving notes in an unlocked desk drawer!

 

• A good password contains upper and lower case alphabet characters and numbers, but no special characters (, . ; : * % & !). If you have difficulty remembering such an involved password, another suggestion is to merge unrelated adjectives and nouns, such as funclock or smartgal. It's even more effective to use that scheme if you place a number between the words. A good strategy is to create the password out of the first letters of a phrase familiar to you and to intersperse numbers.

 

• Passwords are case-sensitive.

 

• The longer the password, the harder it is to guess, so try to use more than 7 characters and numbers.
