Password should not be a simple word or number. Should be mix of letters, digits, special characters, etc. Do not use consecutive numbers or letters, ie, 1234, abcde, qwerty, asdf, etc. Do not use birth dates, names of family members, historical years, etc.I like to use the first letters of short, meaningful phrases that have meaning in my life. For example: Odaat2002 (One Day At A Time, 2002).
