PASSWORD TIPS

I'm with you. Changing my 5 million passwords and trying to remember them all is a huge task for me. That being said, I manage. I'd rather be safe than sorry. Here are some tips on how to create passwords that are hard to hack.

Make the password meaningful but obscure. Like maybe a long song lyric.
Make a password by using the first letter of each word in a sentence.
Use a password generator. If you are going to keep your passwords, keep them hidden and in a safe place away from your computer.
