Are you one of those people that have a hard time remembering your password?

Do you....

• Always use the same password so you don't forget it?
• Use a password that is easy to guess like birthdates, children names, spouse names, or pets?
• Think because you add a number 1 after the password it becomes safer?

Think again... You would be surprised how easy it is to guess your password.

If you are serious about the security of your web site and e-mail.... Make sure your password is difficult to guess.

For instance....

(I know many of you will resist a totally random password with upper case, lower case, and numerical digits because it's very hard to remember so here are some tips that are more reasonable)

• Use a random word in a document or book, then type it backwards or add random numbers to the word.
• If you insist on using a name -- use names of people that are NOT close to you.  People that you met only once but can remember. 
• Use punctuation in your password
• Use different passwords for different types of logins.  Use harder passwords for your banking, etc. (some banks enforce harder passwords and changing it often)
• Change your password once per month

Ideally you should use a random password generator like this http://www.pctools.com/guides/password/ to generate a properly mixed and random password.

Hope this friendly reminder helps keep your important data secure!
