Make your password strong
A minimum of 8 and a maximum of 127 characters, and must have three out of four of the following:
- Lowercase characters.
- Uppercase characters.
- Numbers (0 - 9).
- Special characters.
Here are some ideas for creating passwords you can remember
1. Take an expression a friend always uses, for instance,
“Oh man! That’s gotta hurt”
Use the first letters of the words to translate it into a password
0-m!-Tgh
2. Or, think of some odd phrase with no meaning
My handle low door right?
In the second case you want to make it somewhat long. Maybe 20-30 characters.
Essentially you create something you can remember but is hard to guess by a computer.
Warning don’t use those examples, since now they are public knowledge. 😊
