]]> Passwords are a pain. We want it simple, easy to remember, and hassle-free. The problem with that is that simple passwords are easily cracked these days by the bad guys.

Therefore, learn what makes a great password:

  • No proper or common names
  • Use a mixture of capital letters and lowercase
  • Include numbers and/or special characters
  • Use symbols (#$%@!, etc.)
  • And use 8 characters or longer

I found a great little password generator here. Play around with it and see what you think. They offer two types: Mnemonic (easy-to-remember) passwords and random combinations which are harder to remember but also harder to crack.
