Try using acronyms for a phrase; they work well because they’re very easy to remember. The longer the better, 8 or more characters is best.
For example, “MNIB” for “My Name Is Bill. For an even better password, add a number or symbol somewhere in the acronym. For example,“MNIB12” for “My Name Is Bill,” followed by the random number 12. -- You could pick a number like your age or your favorite number.
Tips For Choosing A Good Password!
1. Remember to use as many characters as possible, with a minimum of six to eight.
2. Try to add numbers as well as letters. If possible, try using symbols such as * , #, $.
4. If you can try to randomly capitalize letters if the password is case-sensitive. e.g. MnIb12
5. Remember to avoid using your name (that's the most common mistake), or the names of your friends or family members, and don't use your birthday, address, phone number or any other things that people may know about you.
6. If possible avoid using an actual word from any language that can be found in an dictionary.
7. Use a different password for all your different login's. Your email account password and your hub.tv password should be different for example.
8. Try to change your password every three to six months, especially if your account gives you access to personal information.
9. Try to find an easy way to remember your password. If you can, try to avoid writing it down.
10. Don't share your password with anyone.
