Easy tips to create a strong password
So, how do you actually create a good password that’s not easily guessable that you can also remember? Complexity is the key to security when choosing a password.
1. No reference to your life. Highly secure passwords have no reference to a person's life that could be readily found online or through friends.
2. Longer is better. They should always be at least 8 characters long
3. Combine characters. They should contain a combination of letters, numbers and special characters, like a question mark, period, @ or #.
4. Change them on a regular basis. You can setup your Windows Live ID password to expire every 72 days, and it will automatically remind you to enter a new password. You can go to https://account.live.com and login to select these settings. You can read instructions on how to do this here. |
