How do you select a strong password

The stranger your password is the easier it is for you to remember! Some ideas to think about include:

• An easy to remember acronym.
• A combination of three or more unrelated words incorporating numbers.
• Lyrics from a song you’ll easily remember.
• A silly yet easy to remember phrase such as BananasPlayDiscoUnderTriangleSuns.
• Using a combination of words from different languages if you’re multilingual.

What to avoid

Avoid using standard dictionary words or the name of a child, pet or sports team or something that will be easily guessed.

You should also avoid using the password storage options offered by web browser, as they are frequently targeted by hackers. Web browsers are targeted by hackers because if they can compromise the browser they can get access to the passwords you have stored in the browser.
