How to create a strong password which cannot be hacked or cracked
1. Use the first letter of each word from a line in a book, song, or poem. For example: "Who ya gonna call? Ghost Busters!" would produce "Wygc?GB!”
2. Use the output from a random password generator. Select a random string that can be pronounced and is easy to remember. For example, the random string "adazac123" can be pronounced a-da-zac, and you can remember it by thinking of it as "A-to-Z,1 through 3." Add uppercase letters to create your own emphasis, e.g., aDAzac.2
3. Use two short words connected by punctuation, e.g., T1me#0ff
4. Use numbers and letters to create an imaginary vanity license plate password, e.g., 1H8work!
A common theme of these suggestions is that the password should be easy to remember. Avoid passwords that must be written down to be remembered. If unrecallable, someone in your office may find the password you have written down, and compromise your network identity.
