How safe is your password?
First a few things to think about. Most people pick something that is easy and relates to them in a personal way. This is the wrong way to do it, any person who puts a bit of thought into it can guess your password. Your not under risk from other people guessing computers can run threw a few hundred passwords changing numbers letters etc.. guessing your password over and over again.
Do not use the same password for everything, check out some password managers these can help you hold lots of password securely and not having same password for everything. Check out LastPass https://lastpass.com/ , Super Gen Pass
Things YOU MUST avoid:
* Don’t use a password that contains personal information (name, birth date, etc.)
* Don’t use repeating characters (aa11).
* Don’t use words or acronyms that can be found in a dictionary.
* Don’t use keyboard patterns e.g. (qwerty) or sequential numbers (123456789).
* Don’t write down your passwords.
* Don’t email your passwords
* Change your passwords once a year
Tips for creating a secure password:

Does your outlook crash on start? Does your Microsoft word freeze during using it? Do your programs generally crash and not start properly? Are you running an old version of office?

What is KeePass?
Today you need to remember many passwords. You need a password for the Windows network logon, your e-mail account, your homepage’s FTP password, online passwords, control panel for website etc.
The list is endless.
Recommendations: Also, you should use different passwords for each account. Because if you use only one password everywhere and someone gets this password you have a problem… A serious problem. The thief would have access to your e-mail account, homepage, etc. Unimaginable.
