Question
How do I choose a secure password?
Here are some tips for choosing a secure password:
1) Create a password that has eight or more characters. The longer the password the better.
2) Use a string of random words.
3) Add numbers and/or punctuation to your password.
4) Mix upper and lowercase
5) Use different passwords for different servers
Here's an example, but please do not use it and choose your own ;-)
