Think of any two people you know.

use ones street address and the others zip code.

Then you take the last letter for your dentits name and put it in the front capitalized.

Throw that **** away

take your dogs name and use that as your password

Use Firefox 3.6 to browse the internet. Under Tools > Options > Security, set a Master Password. This protects Firefox's sensitive cache, so even if an attacker gets a hold of your computer, logins to your account, and opens your browser, he still won't be able to access your online accounts.



Use a good anti-virus program, such as NOD32, and make sure that it is set to scan your computer for threats regularly (preferably every day, or at least a couple times a week).



Use a different password for different sites, so in case one gets compromised, the others are safe.



Use over 8 characters in your password, including lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, special characters, and maker sure it contains nothing meaningful and has no words or phrases in the dictionary.



Don't have the password saved anywhere on your computer to remember it; if you have a hard time remembering your passwords, write them down on a note and keep it somewhere safe.



Make sure that any site you login into is the official site, and not a scam. Only sign-in if you are using a secure protocol (the address of the page starts with https://).

1. Complex passwords.

2. Frequent changing of passwords.

3. No "universal" passwords (meaning a different password for each site)

4. Don't keep a list of your passwords anywhere on your computer (use a little address notebook, or similar).

5. Don't let your web browser "remember" any passwords.

6. Firewalls, virus protection, spyware protection, and similar.

7. Don't tell your password to friends. And if u have to for some reason, change it immediately after.

What is needed is a special triple-encrypted program that automatically changes a 15-digit alpha-numeric password 1000 times a second. I don't know how this would be set up exactly, but with a thousand different passwords every second it would be hard for a hacker to break through with the right one at exactly the right millisecond.



An example of this was the World War 2 German Enigma machine, which was virtually indecipherable without a special physical key. So this password program would consist of a physical unit, sort of like a dongle, and a software program working in conjunction with it to create an ever changing stream of passwords.

Hi. To protect your password and get a good one, create a password containing capitals A-Z, lowercase a-z, numbers 0-9. Don't use any specials characters like the stars in my username. Also, try to change your password every week. Here is an example password - NJkOPfG9462 . In your password never put your name, username, hobby, age, birth .. etc or else your account will be hacked by people that know you easily. Remember, don't use the same passwords for your email account and Yahoo! answers account. Different websites = make a different password. Don't give out your password to anyone! Thanks.

Why even bother with passwords when so many sites have SQL vulnerabilities.



Dynamic passwords? Only transferring your data over encrypted networks?

Not using "password" or "12345" for your password?



There are really a lot of basic ways to do this that most people just don't do. Like actually setting up a password in the first place.

Passwords are often the best bet of protection against fraud and online thieves. People frequently choose easily guessable passwords that allow an account to be easily broken into, opening themselves up for risk of multiple kinds of theft. Here's how to create a strong password to protect your online accounts.





Step 1

Add numbers to your password.

Numbers can add a bit of password protection to even the simplest of passwords. Steer clear of your own birth date or your home address, which don't provide a lot of password protection because they are easy to guess.



Step 2

Lengthen your passwords.

The longer a password is, the harder it is to guess. Make sure that your password is at least 7 characters; making it longer or adding a string of other characters to the end of it will only make it harder to decode for potential thieves.



Step 3

Add punctuation to create a stronger password.

Symbols, punctuation and numbers all work in conjuncture to make a strong password to better protect online accounts.



Step 4

Memorize a random password.

The random password is a strong password. Choose something random in terms of both numbers and letters and you will have created a strong password. Using a combination of random words or letters, numbers, and punctuation will give you the strongest password possible.

I love the answers where they say not to use the same password twice. There is also the log-in name to be considered. My point is that I have 2 personal and 2 business credit cards, 3 store accounts (like Best Buy), 2 personal and 2 business bank accounts, 3 utility accounts, 5 email accounts, blackberry account, mortgage account, airline miles accounts, insurance accounts, 5 misc membership accounts and 4 Internet accounts plus about 8 more various accounts. I use a spreadsheet to try to keep track of it all. Then some accounts require a new password every 90 days. Other accounts require case sensitive or the insertion of numbers/symbols. I also access these accounts from work and from home as well as laptop when I travel. Whew! Thank God for Mozilla Firefox.

FIrst of all, do not use Microsoft Windows. I use linux for any password-driven ops and I choose NOT to keep any passwords on my computer. Decrepit Windows asks if you want to save the password and then saves it even if you say NO. The difference is that the regular windows software cannot pull it up.



There are password vaults available for linux, like Gringotts, and KDE wallet, but I decline to use them.



Next, find a bank that uses a triple handshake, even if you have to keep your funds in a German bank. In Germany, you have a login and password which is always required PLUS you are mailed a list of one-time passwords once a month. So you login and use your password, and then you are asked for the one-time password. Use one off the list and cross it off because it won't be valid again. If someone hacks your computer, they get your login and password but not the one-timer. If someone intercepts your mail they get useless passwords and you request a new list.



There are sites which are subject to cross-server scripting, so use Firefox or Konqueror for your browser, or any of the firefox based browsers which seem at least now to defend against the XSS exploits.

Open notepad and type random letters and numbers alternating with random pressing of the shift key to get a long string like



H89ko-8ghbc6(054f2xo fgj3zty^Eyxcy80hkR7 dfhC432zw%Gxv* (7bo9563x1Sz&N)j*g4



Then copy out of that a random part of at least 6-8 characters. When writing them down, do something like add a random character to the second to last one, so that anyone even reading your passwords won't know them.



Another method of creating easy to remember, but hard to crack passwords is by following the formula of CVCVCVCV where C is a consonant and V is a vowel. Such as migowedi.

Then add numbers and special characters to that to make it more secure.

A strong password consists of letters, numbers, and symbols and should be at least 6 or more characters in length. Unless you have trouble memorizing stuff, you should not use the same password for each website. If you have trouble memorizing your password, write it down and keep it somewhere safe. Also, try to stay away from websites that are vulnerable to attacks. These sites often allow you to submit HTML and JavaScript.

You need to always use a good firewall, along with a router(with encryption), Anti-malware software, along with good password. I use multiple things:



1. I ALWAYS use a router, even if I am only using 1 computer, after I set the router settings I change my username and password and give it a bunk access IP adress(so no one can access it without actually physically plugging it into their computer.



2. I use Spybot Seach & Destroy WITH TeaTimer, run it weekly, and always check to make sure it is updated.



3. I use ESET NOD32 x64. Always active.



4 All my password as not words/sentences and all are over 20 characters(or 20 characters) mixed with numbers and letters.



5. Keep windows updated, never used cracked versions of windows.



6. Never download a file I don't know what it is. I always use trusted sites.



I have followed these rules for YEARS and have never had a virus.

Don't have them on your computer. If possible have them in your head, or in a small notebook.



Also, do not use simple passwords. With simple passwords, all passwords that can be found as words in a dictionary should be banned, as should your personal names well known.



I have a good persoanl system. But if I tell it, it won't be good any longer - will it now!



If you use things that are from your private or professional life's interaction, things that will be there for years / decades and are easy to remember but have nothing to do with you that anyone can know these are pretty good. An example could be your neigbor's address or your dream car's name and number.

To create a good password start with a sentence (make sure its something you can remember)

Ex: My dog ran really fast on the beach this morning.



Then create a series of numbers (perferably a sequence you can remember that is not in numerical order) There needs to be one less number than there are words in the sentence

Ex: 528496103



Next, put together the first letter of each word in the sentence

Ex: mdrrfotbtm



Finally, insert the series of numbers into the series of letters, with a number between each letter

Ex: m5d2r8r4f9o6t1b0t3m



And you now have a really complicated, hard to figure out password that you can remember.

I don't know how, but I had my Yahoo Mail password stolen last week, and my Facebook password too, it was probably by the same guy, and he may have found my Facebook password through my emails on Yahoo. Anyway, I think hackers will always find ways, so the best I can suggest is to change your password once a week, just to be sure. Make sure you don't forget it though, because you may easily forget a password when you only use it for one week. Also make sure the passwords you use are not easy to guess.



I may post my question here but I only do it to get more answers, I try to help people in my answers though, so please don't judge me bad because of that

Try using these tips:



*At least 2 CaPiTaL LeTtErS (not behind each other, more like: UniversalStudios, to give an example).

*Use at least 2 numbers

*Use signs, like one of these: ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) - _ = + / ? ; : [ ] { } \ | ~ ` ' " ¡ ² ³ ¤ € ¼ ½ ¾ ‘ ’ ¥ ä å é ® þ ü ú í ó ö « » ¬ ø ¶ ´ æ © ñ µ ç. Put them in random places. The ones behind the apostrophe can be found using Alt Gr (right-hand Alt-key).

*Make the password long. When there is a restriction to the password size, make it about as long as the restriction.

*Use a combination of all of these with small letters, and your password should be so safe that protection will not be necessary anymore!

*Last but not least: use different passwords for different websites. This is maybe one of the most important rules.

i have a few tips!

* keep a written record of all your passwords in a notebook somewhere, hopefully hidden. if you forget a password, you're in trouble. also, if they ask you a question for when you forget your password "what is your favorite uncle?" etc. write that there too. don't forget which ones go to which accounts, so write that there too!

* DO NOT SHARE YOUR PASSWORD WITH ANYONE! (except your parents, if you're a kid.)

* do crazy stuff with your password. spell words back words or out of order. use caps on some letters and lowercase on others. add numbers, not just at the end, but mixed throughout. make it something random no one will ever find out!

* always log out before leaving the computer. also, do not click the "remember me" or "remember password" button on anything!!!

* change your password every month or so. don't forget to change it in your notebook!

* answer your "forgot question" thing with a weird answer. so if the question is the name of your fave uncle, don't put "mike", put "be jealouss my unclee's name is micheall johnnnyyy!" or something like that.

* be spamware free with antivirus stuff!

Get a Macbook or a Mac Also have a different Password for each account, do not use your childs name dates of birth are a nono & never type your password where there are not *** hiding them because when you say ******** I cant see with keylogger however when you say PASSWORD I ca see copy paste & happy days!!



change your passwords to any active accounts monthly especially payment accounts, get a good malware software "Not a Free One!" Never give a genuine hint or clue to your password! do not link accounts with sites you do not know!! Also use Symbols as well as letters and use numbers too capitals can be good too..

The best way to protect your self online is to be cautious and not enter your personal information into non-bona fide sites. If you should get an email from a website asking you to "update" your records that would be a good sign that this is a phishing site. Reputable companies like banks ,ebay,paypal,etc. do not ask you provide any passwords or the like via email. If you should get an email of the like from a "company like this you can easily verify it by clicking the "REPLY" button and checking the email address you are replying to: If that email address does not have a very last ending of @bankofamerica.com, @chase.com,@paypal.com,@ebay.com,etc.;But ends in @yahoo.com.@hotmail.com;@gmail.com,etc. you can be sure that this is some lazy ,sneaky bastard trying to part you from your money. JUST BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL.



I received a fraudulent email today from a phisher asking me to "update" my" records. The email include this link: http://173-14-76-138-sacramento.hfc.comcastbusiness.net/oficepaupal/?edesazxcvbfg Now when I clicked this link, knowing it was phony, I just put in some made-up ,random User Name and Password. This site accepted these false credential and took me to another page that ask me for my account number, name,address,etc. I again put in some more BULLSHIT and the site accepted that also.So, I put in BARRACK OBAMA ,1600 Pensylvania Ave. , Washing D.C.



Again, here is the link: http://173-14-76-138-sacramento.hfc.comcastbusiness.net/oficepaupal/?edesazxcvbfg



Try it , BUT DO NOT PUT IN ANY TRUE INFORMATION.

Don't ever tell anyone your password, make sure that you use non-obvious words/numbers for your password (e.g. never use your name, your birthdate etc..)



Always use a combination of letters and numbers as well as lower and upper case text.



Do not just use the same password for every site that you join - make sure to have a variety of passwords that you can use.



Never write your passwords down on your computer - as they can be easily hacked by anybody wishing to acess them.



However if you must write them down so you don't forget them make sure you hide the paper/book in which they were written safely (do not put it on your desk/in your wallet.

Use a good Personal Firewall program or Antivirus program that encrypts your passwords. Make your passwords harder for others to guess by adding Capital letters and numbers. Never choose the option to remember passwords on unsecured sites or any sites, prevent from responding to phising emails asking you to verify account information through links. Always use a trusted site and look for the trusted connection in your URL bar. When in doubt, always type in the URL and never from a link. For example, type in www.paypal.com when asked to verify any information because once prompted to log in, you will be entering a secured site.

2010-03-29 07:20:23 UTC
Well lets start with logic. The only password we never guess for other people is the password we use ourselves right? so logically it would protect everyone to use the same password.
2010-03-29 13:32:38 UTC
Don't tell anyone your password.



Don't use an easily guessable word, or even better, don't use a real word at all! Using oblebobble is much harder to guess than chicken. Hackers will sometimes use what is called a "dictionary attack", which means they use a program to check if your password is any word in the dictionary.



Add numbers. the more the better!



Ad random capitals. People would expect you to put capitals as "CheeseIsGreat", not "chEeseiSgreAT".
2010-03-29 06:44:10 UTC
I remember when passwords were written on sticky notes and then hidden from view for fear of someone stealing it and causing trouble. Then it all went on line where passwords were allegedly safe but hackers and ID thieves found them out and caused LOTS of trouble. Well, maybe it's time to put passwords back on sticky notes.



Just a thought.

-Make sure that there is nothing the password that match to you like



-Date birth , Hand phone number , (Others)



-And make sure your password is more than 6 characters



-And using alphabet and numbers may help



-And do not share your password with anyone , only you suppose to know



-Keep away from stay signed in , in public computers



That is all , If you follow these rules , nobody can hack your account

You cannot. Use unique passwords at every site.



Once you sign onto a site and use a password, consider it compromised. Who knows what will happen at their site?



And never, ever, store credit card information online at any site.
2010-03-27 02:43:38 UTC
a strong password containing numbers, letters, uppercase and lowercase and if possible symbols one example would be He11o mY n@Me 1s Bob. Make sure you get genuine antivirus software because some are scams and are viruses themself like antivirus XP 2010. also try to change your password every month or so. one last one dont use any of the following because they are to obvious



-blank (none)

-the words "password", "passcode", "admin" and their derivatives

-a row of letters from the qwerty keyboard -- qwerty itself, asdf, or qwertyuiop)

-the user's name or login name

-the name of their significant other, a friend, relative or pet

-their birthplace or date of birth, or a friend's, or a relative's

-their automobile license plate number, or a friend's, or a relative's

-their office number, residence number or most commonly, their mobile number.

-a name of a celebrity they like

-a simple modification of one of the preceding, such as suffixing a digit, particularly 1, or reversing the order of the letters.

-a swear word

Make your password something that is hard to guess-- in other not your birthday or any part of your name, nothing guessable. keep your password written down somewhere and hide it in like a safe or something. don't give your passwords out to your friends.



It is also a good idea to periodically change your password and to use different passwords for different accounts. if somebody hacks into one of your accounts, they can hack into all of them if you have used the same password. But just make sure your password is hard to guess, series of letters and numbers nobody will be able to guess.

Make them difficult to find out. Use numbers, letters, etc. Say your on Facebook, and a site (logintofacebook.com) wants your password, you should no better NOT to log in.

Might seem obvious but - Make good passwords, change them often.



Use Linux or Mac OS...

It's EASY to load Linux dual boot or boot it from live CD and do your banking with it.

I suggest Fedora (free), or Ubuntu (also free).

Never save passwords to a browser, write them down , but keep handy to PC, don't trust the brain it forgets. Change them regularly, just in case your on unsecure wifi, which is another thing to look into. Good firewall and antivirus programs help.

add a variety of what charecters are in there



i also have some advice for you: pick a rememberable random word and use it as your password.

this is because people can guess things you like.



some websites have a security report which will tell you that the website is safe for your info. in internet explorer, a lock will show next to the refresh button (IE8)
