Submitted on 5/11/2007 17:50

There is a lot of myths around passwords particularly that passwords cannot be cracked.

Here are some Do's and Don'ts. 

Some classic don'ts are

• Don't use your favourite football team

• Don't use your pet's name

• Don't use ‘password' as a password?

• Don't use the name Thomas

• Don't use the term ‘security'

• Don't use your middle name or other names

• Don't use 123456 (it's the 5th most common)

• Don't use ‘Letmein' or ‘trustno1'

If you have some classic 'don'ts', add to my list, we could have some fun here!

Some classic do's are

• Use Alphanumeric passwords

• Change passwords occasionally

• Use more random passwords

• Remember, every password can be cracked

If you have some more classic do's add to the list so we can all share them.
