Hackers have got very active lately and they’re always trying to get peoples’ accounts. They have various tools and software to help them guess passwords. A good password is both strong and memorable. Here are some tips to create one:

1. Include both uppercase and lowercase letters in random places. Example: Instead of fishyfish, type fiShyfIsH or something similar.

2. Include numbers. This is very important, as with a password containing numbers, it is a LOT harder for a hacker to guess it. To make it easier to remember, you can use your birth date or age, but put the numbers in random places! Example: fiSh8yfIsH3

3. Include spaces and symbols. This can make the password harder to remember, but also helps to decrease chances of it being found out. Example f_iSh8yfis@H3 (Note that at this stage it is virtually impossible to GUESS the password. Hacking tools will be needed.)

4. Another good way to create a memorable, but quite strong password, is to mix two random words such as dog and plane -> doplagne

By adding all the things above, this can be a great password.

5. Never, ever use a same password for several things. If one database is hacked, then your other(s) will be gone as well. A great way to keep all those passwords is to get a Password Manager program and assign one password to access all of the others. Here’s one of the best pieces of free software for that.
