Password Checker
Weak passwords are probably the number one cause of compromised computer systems.
A good password should not be a common or dictionary word, it should be ten characters or longer and it should have a mix of lower and upper case, symbols and numbers.
A way to choose a strong password that is easy to remember is by using a mnemonic trick: pick a sentence you will always remember from a song or a book, and then use the first letter of each word, changing some of them with symbols or numbers and altering their case. For example let's say that you pick "To be or not to be: that is the question" as the initial phrase. From this sentence you can select the first character to build: Tbontb:titq. Now by changing the letter 'o' with the number '0' and the second 't' from "to" to the number 2 and the last 'i' to the symbol '!' then we have as password: Tb0n2b:t!tq. This is a fairly secure password that has 11 characters and a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols.
You can use the following password checker to test the strength of your password.
