Creating passwords

Longer passwords are better passwords. The more characters a password cracking program has to crunch, the harder it is to guess.

Remove all the vowels from a short phrase in order to create a "word."
Example: llctsrgry ("All cats are gray")

Use an acronym: choose the first or second letter of your favorite quotation.
Example: itsotfitd ("It's the size of the fight in the dog")

Mix letters and non-letters in your passwords. (Non-letters include numbers and all punctuation characters on the keyboard.)

Transform a phrase by using numbers or punctuation.
Examples: Idh82go (I'd hate to go), UR1drful (you are wonderful).

Add random capitalization to your passwords. Capitalize any but the first letter.
Example: eIeIoH!, o.U.Kid

Change your password at least once every six months. You can make three or four passwords if you like, then switch them throughout the year.
