I agree, that is a good site, although you would have to pm it or email it to yourself to remember it, because I think that you can hardly remember something that complicated. But yes, I agree that it can help, you'd just need to remember it somehow.

Today, I will be giving tips on how I think you can make a better password. Suggestion: I think that we should be able to change our own passwords. Why? Because I think it would be a nice idea in-case we wanted to make a stronger one. If you forgot a password, that is different. I mean changing a password on your OWN account in edit settings of profile. Anyways, that isn't the point, I am showing you how to make a better password.

I will show you a basic password into a STRONG password.

The one I am using is Panda.

Tip One: Always Include a Capital Letter.

Using Capital letters is a great way to make a better password, because no one knows really if there are many possibilities.

New Password: PaNDa

Tip Two: Add something that you love before or after your basic password.

It makes it more secure, and you have fun with it. It can also be a descriptive adjectives or something that describes you.

New Password: PaNDaLuVEr

Do you see the pattern in the letters with the capitalized words? I put it in a pattern so it is easier for YOU to remember.

Tip Three: Added Numbers and Symbols

If you add numbers and symbols to add or REPLACE some of the letters, you are smart because it prevents hackers even more. By replacing, use common symbols or numbers to replace letters.

New Password: P@NDaLuV3r59

Tip Four: Make sure your password is longer than 9 characters.

A goal of 8 characters, or a combination of letters ad name, should be a strong password, because a Short one is too easy. The One above is just fine though.

Examples of BAD Passwords:

Here are some things you should not do for a password OR even a Pin:

Bad Pins: 1234, 0000, any combination of 4 numbers next to each other (3456), or even a personal thing like your first three letters of your name and last name for 4th letter. Some of these are just too easy to guess, like a birthdate. Example of birthdate: 2001

Good Pins: I would actually suggest using a passcode instead, because it is much safer that way. A Good passcode example would be R3dP3ngu!n09, or $tr3$SfulM0n$ter

Those pins were quite complicated, but if you can remember them, then you are good.

Bad Passwords: Examples are one word objects you like or just your username or password. Bad Examples can be lowercase, and just not hard to figure out. Example are penguindsc, tree, puppies, etc.

Good passwords were explained in Good Pins.

I hope you enjoyed! I think that changing our own passwords would be easier, so I hope you agree and use these tips!
