Simple Ways to Create a Complex Password For the new policy you password must be at least: 8 characters long, and must meet at least 3 out of the 4 requirements for quality: at least (1) lower case letter at least (1) upper case letter at least (1) number at least (1) special character (#,*, =, etc.) Creating Good Passwords The following information will help you create and remember your password without many headaches. Mixed numbers, letters (upper and lower case) and special characters (#,*, =, etc.) make the best passwords. Mnemonics and numbers in a word can be your best friend. A mnemonic is a formula or rhyme to help you remember. Examples of mnemonics are: My four children are wonderful when they're sleeping     m4Cawwts My anniversary is April 4 remember that date     Maia4rtd Did Ali Baba really have forty thieves     dAbrh40t My four kids are wonderful... just like computers     m4kawjLc Use a new mnemonic or letter word with an important embedded date. For instance, the next time you change your password there might be a holiday, birthday or special event that you need to remember. Your brother's B-day is the 12th     Ybbit12th Buy Fred's present 12th when banking     bfP12wb Buy John's present 12th after Windows     bJp12aw Buy Heide's present 12th before reading e-mail     bhp12Bre NOTE: Do not use any of these examples as actual passwords!
