Making a password which would be easy to remember and hard to guess can be sometimes really tough job so here are some tips which could help.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Computer
  • Internet Connection
  1. Step 1

    Make sure your password is really hard to guess so don't use your name, birth date, etc.
    It's better to have password which doesn't make sense like: YWmv\lgd1nQ!sG8m because no one could ever guess that.

  2. Step 2

    Every good password should contain: Capital letters, numbers and some punctuation.

  3. Step 3

    Never use the same password again!! Make sure that you don't make same password more than once! This is important because when someone figure out your password he will have access to all your stuff like bank accounts, e-mails etc.

  4. Step 4

    If you have problems with making some password use free password generators like: http://www.goodpassword.com/ where you can set your requirements and they will make you a random password which you can use immediately.

  5. Step 5

    If you have problems with remembering your passwords write them on some piece of paper and put them in your vault (if you have one).

Tips & Warnings
  • If you have an iPhone you can download App called "Lock Box" where you can store all your passwords under one password.
  • Never tell your password to anyone you don't know even if he seems to be friendly.
