Choose a complex password. What password should be complex, it is clear. But how can we choose not to forget? Password the average reliability can be multiple words. For example, “hellomydearfriend”. Program-the attacker will not be able to find the key to this combination. Another rule is to use different passwords for different purposes. That is the password for Your e-mail would be wise to make a “hellomydearfriendpochta, and for ICQ “hellomydearfriendicq”. Better mix of alphabetic characters with numeric as “me2you”, and even better with the special characters: “me2%$&you”.
