Be strong with your passwords

It's tempting to make your passwords as easy as possible - after all, we have so many of them to remember. But this can be very dangerous; some forms of malware try to log in to systems by guessing passwords, and if your password is just something out of the dictionary it may be possible for someone to gain unauthorized access and impersonate you.

The best solution is to use what's called a STRONG password. This is one where your password has the following characteristics:
At least 8 characters long
lowercase letters (passwords are case sensitive)
uppercase letters
a symbol, such as $ (different systems may vary in what characters they allow)

so, for example, this would be bad:
mypass

better:
myPass

even better:
myPas$

still better:
myPas$200

Using strong passwords makes for safer computing. It's good computer practice that everyone should implement.
