06 December 2007:
Avoid Certain Passwords Because many people have a difficult time remembering their passwords, they often use names or words that are near and dear to them — like a pet’s name.
Although such passwords are easy to remember, they also are easy for a criminal to crack. Never use passwords containing the following:
• Nicknames for you or your family members
• A pet’s name
• Your mother’s maiden name
• The street number or street name of your current or former residences
• Your relatives’ names
• Sequential numbers (like 1234 or 6789)
• Common words (like the word password or the)
• Words directly related to your occupation (for example, if you are a doctor, don’t use doctor)
