Creating a Secure Password
The temptation to use loved one's names, birthdays and anniversaries is great but "easy to remember" can also be "easy to guess." In a world where hackers use sophisticated software to crack passwords, an easy password is an open invitation. The challenge is to create something that is memorable for you but tough for others to decipher.
For your security, passwords should never be shared, written down, or e-mailed to others.
