Passwords


Seems like we have passwords for everything these days!  And while this cartoon seems to have solved the problem, this is probably not the best recommendation for a password choice.

The best passwords are combinations of letters, numbers and special characters.  For example using favorite words, sports, zodiac sign, pet name:

successful = $ucc3$$fu1
football = f00+b@11
aries = @r!3$
cats = c@t$
boomerang = b00m3r@ng!

It does take getting a little used to typing these combinations. But by using stronger passwords, it makes your online accounts more challenging to hack.

Safe computing!
