Proper passwords
25 Aug 2009
Some good advice on creating more secure and harder to guess passwords, that are still relatively easy to remember.
- Substitute numbers for letters and vice versa. (o instead of 0, 4 instead of A, 1 instead of L, E instead of 3)
- Substitute words for numbers (one, two , three…)
- Combine both the of above (0ne, thr33, f1ve)
- Use capitalization in random places (bLue, happY)
- Use special characters ( !@#$%^&*(){}[] ) to punctuate and separate words
- Create passwords out of words, numbers or phrases you’ll remember
- Misspell words
