Others can hear you give a password to someone you trust. Someone looking over your shoulder can discover a password. Don’t keep a copy of your password in a desk drawer, on a monitor, or under a keyboard.

©2002 TechRepublic, Inc. All rights reserved. Protect your password Your password is yours alone. Don’t share it with anyone, including supervisors, personal assistants, or IT personnel. Never write down your password. You wouldn’t write your PIN number for your ATM card, would you? Do NOT: Say your password aloud. your password to a co-worker. Offer anyone hints about what your password might be.

They consist of known words that can be found in many hacker password dictionaries. They contain number or letter sequences or letter-to-number substitutions, such as E for 3 or O for zero.
