How do I choose a good password?

Choose a password that is at least eight characters in length. The best passwords include a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters. Here are some examples of good and bad passwords:

Bad

Good

donuts

d)nu7$!

1234five

sm00/eD

myname00

.44ma9nm

You can build your password around a phrase that is easy to remember. For example, say your favorite short story was Bartleby, the Scrivener by Herman Melville. You could use this to build several potential passwords:

b4rt1eBe or bts-HMvl or Scri>3nr
