5 Tips for Creating and Using Passwords

Don’t use words that exist in the dictionary.
Don’t use simple number substitutes such as “0”s for “o”s or “1”s for “I”s.
Don’t user obvious words for people or places you may know.
Don’t use the same password for longer than two years.
Use different passwords for public and private online services. For example, don’t use the same password for social media services as you would use for online banking. Financial institutions are known for their heightened security practices. There is no way to know what processes and security a startup social media site may have implemented and if their servers are truly secure.
