Whether you're new to computers or an online veteran, choosing and remembering passwords for email, online shopping accounts, and other activities requires some thought. A password should not be easy to guess: don't use your name, birth date, or hometown as a password. For extra computer safety try using the first letters of a phrase that means something to you, combined with numbers. For instance, the phrase “I met my wife in ‘93” could become the password “immwi93.”
