Rule #1 : 

Don’t create an obvious password that nearly anyone who knows you can easily guess, such as a boyfriend’s or girlfriend’s name, your birthday, or a pet’s name. Rule #1

RULE #2 : 

RULE #2 Do not create an unnecessary long password. A well-chosen shorter password can be just as secure as a long password. Instead of Nitrophenylenediamine, let’s just say Red 

RULE #3 : 

RULE #3 Your password will be more secure if you use a combination of letters and numbers. Ex. 1ringing3 – is stronger than ringing

RULE #4 : 

RULE #4 Don’t forget your password! Think of a mnemonic device, a word association to help you remember your password. Ex. 1ringing3- think “one” phone call to “three” friends

RULE #5 : 

RULE #5 Don’t share your password with anyone. Don’t leave it on a paper attached to your computer, under your keyboard, or some other place where it can be found easily.

RULE #6 : 

RULE #6 Most likely, you will be asked to update or change your password now and again. Experienced computer users often create three powerful passwords and rotate them.

RULE #7 : 

RULE #7 Don’t use “bad” words. It can end up embarrassing.
