Further tips on creating your password:

  • You might consider using an easy to pronounce password that is not an actual word, such as veminad - achieved in this case by alternating consonants and vowels.
  • Combine this with some numbers and/or special characters to get an even more secure password, e.g. veminad21%.
  • Additionally alternate between lower-case and upper-case, vEmInAd21%.
  • You might also want to consider a memory hook or sentence related to the site in question. For example "Combat the signs of ageing", but use for your password just the first two letters of each word and once again alternate between lower- and upper-case and add some numbers and/or special characters to the mix, i.e. CoThSiOfAg66$.
  • Instead of adding a number at the end, you might want to consider replacing some letters with numbers, i.e. T with 7, I with 1, E with 3 in which case vEmInAd looks like v3m1nAd.
  • But always keep in mind that your password should at least consist of 8 characters.
  • However, do not just choose a simple password with words that come straight from a dictionary, e.g. MyNameIsJoe21.
