Tips for making a strong password

Make sure your password

• Is at least eight characters long
• Does not contain your user name, real name or company name
• Does not contain a complete word
• Is lots different from passwords you've used before
• Contains characters from each of the following four categories

Character category | Examples

• Uppercase Letters | A, B, C, D
• Lowercase letters | a, b, c
• Numbers | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0
• Symbols | ` ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ - + = { } [ ] \ | : ; " ' < > , . ? /

Note: A password might meet all the criteria above and still be a weak password. For example, Hello2U! meets all the points for a strong password listed above, but the baddies might guess it because it has a complete word. H3ll0 2U! is much better because it replaces some of the letters in the complete word with numbers and also includes spaces.
