But one thing i would like to share is that include some special characters like '@', '!' etc (only if website accepts those special characters), then i think the password strength will get enhanced greatly http://www.heidicool.com/blog/2006/11/16/choosing-a-good-password/comment-page-1/#comment-378 dave Fri, 01 Dec 2006 21:33:49 +0000 http://www.heidicool.com/blog/?p=73#comment-378 this really isn't very difficult. Choose a random 3 letter word. I'll pick 'Toy' Choose a number from 0-9. I'll pick '9' Now place the number somewhere inside the word. I'll use 'T9oy' (capitalizing the first letter is a good idea as some website require at least 1 capital letter.) This is our base password. Now when going to a website use the first four letters of that website for your password for THAT site and add them either to the start or end of your base password. This will give you a unique password for every website without the problem of trying to remember 1000 different passwords. Here are what some passwords would look like based on the above base password. Yahoo Mail - T9oyyaho Huntington Bank - T9oyhunt Case - T9oycase Amazon - T9oyamaz By using this convention you can create very strong passwords that are easily remembered and unique to every website you visit.
