Fwd: Choosing Different Passwords for Different Websites

I always wonder how to pick a good password, strong enough not to be guessed, and easy enough to be remembered, for my so many identities on the Internet.

I believe this post might be a good start!
Digital Inspiration - Choosing Different Passwords for Different Websites


The tips discussed could be summarized in 3 key points.
  1. Start with familiar phrase.
  2. Add special characters.
  3. Customize for each web site.
I personally do not like Point 2. Special characters are quite awkward to be typed on keyboards. It would slow down your typing speed of passwords, and thus easily to be obscured.

In addition, when you are typing passwords on mobile phones, it would become quite a headache upon typing special characters.

My personal suggestion to replace Point 2 would be "Make passwords extremely long". How? Maybe repeating Point 1 result in random times would be a good start.

The video in the post was created by "Mozilla.org".


Choosing good passwords is a necessary skill for network technicians. Most of the time, you not only have to choose passwords for yourself, but also for "so many different customers".

Well, when is the last time you changed your passwords?
