Passwords Don’t use easy, common words Mistakes:

Strong Password Checker from Microsoft Password Tips Most common password is…password Also 123456 Tips & Advice: Top 25 worst passwords of 2015 Strong Password Checker from Microsoft Students should name some tips. Never use personal information such as your name, birthday, or spouse's name. Personal information is often publicly available, which makes it much easier for someone to guess your password. Use a longer password. Your password should be at least six characters long, and for extra security it should ideally be at least twelve characters (if the site allows it). If you need to write down your passwords, keep them in a secure place. It's even better if you "encrypt" your passwords or just write down hints for them that others won't be able to understand. Don't use the same password for each account. If someone does discover your password for one account, all of your other accounts will be vulnerable. Try to include numbers, symbols and both uppercase and lowercase letters (if the site allows it). Avoid using words that can be found in the dictionary. For example, "swimming1" would be a very weak password. Random passwords are the strongest. Use a password generator instead of trying to think of your own. Random passwords are harder to remember, so create a mnemonic device. For example, "H=jNp2#" can be remembered as "HARRY = jessica NOKIA paris 2 #." This may still seem random, but with a bit of practice it becomes relatively easy to memorize.

Let's say that you have a recipe from your grandmother for the best blueberry muffins ever created. A friend suggests that you sell the recipe for $5. You decide that your friend might be on to something, so you send an e-mail to the 100 people in your personal e-mail address book with the subject line, "These Blueberry Muffins Have Been Described as Heaven -- You Can Have the Recipe for $5!" Your e-mail contains a link to your blueberry muffin Web site. As a result of your 100 e-mails, you get two orders and make $10. ­ "Wow!" you think, "It cost me nothing to send those 100 e-mails, and I made $10. If I sent 1,000 e-mails I could make $100. If I sent a million e-mails I could make $100,000! I wonder where I could get a million e-mail addresses..."
