Recommendations for Strong Passwords

• Do make your passwords hard to guess, even by those who know a lot about you like friends or family.
• Do use long but memorable passwords.
• Do add complexity to your passwords by using a mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.  Attackers will often try words from the dictionary first.
• Don't use a password that is the same or similar to any of your other passwords. Always use a completely different password every time.
• Don't use commonly used words or phrases such as password or iloveyou.
• Don't share your password with anyone.  Anyone with your password has access to everything stored in your account.
