Tips to keep ones password secure


Create random passwords
A password should not be all letters, all numbers.
The password should be a random mix of letters, numbers and even characters; anything on the keyboard is fair game.
Sometimes it is difficult to remember random passwords, so try to use a sentence you can remember. For example, I Like To Spend My Weekend Shopping and use first letter of each word and replace S with $ sign. So your password will be ILT$MW$
Keep your password secret
Since your password allows access to extremely valuable data, guard it carefully. Don’t share it with others or enter it in front of those you can’t trust. Don’t write your password down and carry it around in your purse or wallet.
Don’t store it on your computer in an unencrypted file. Beware of sharing passwords over email, instant messenger, or the phone.
Change your password at least once in every 3 months
Change your passwords frequently.
Frequent password change can also reduce the risk caused by accidental exposure of a password.
Don't reveal your passwords to others
If you have to give access to your account, change the password before you grant them access, and then change it again after their access is no longer required.
Never give your password out in an email
Likewise, if you forget your password and have to request it be sent to you via email, change your password as soon as you receive it.
Don't use the default password assigned to you unless it's a hard requirement. Some ISPs, for example, pre-configure the account with a username and password combination. You might not be able to change the username, but you definitely should be able to change the password.
