How safe is your password?

The first step in protecting your online privacy is creating a safe password - i.e. one that a computer program or persistent individual won't easily be able to guess in a short period of time. To help you choose a secure password, we've created a feature that lets you know visually how safe your password is as soon as you create it.

Tips for creating a secure password:


Include punctuation marks and/or numbers.

Mix capital and lowercase letters.

Include similar looking substitutions, such as the number zero for the letter 'O' or '$' for the letter 'S'.

Create a unique acronym.

Include phonetic replacements, such as 'Luv 2 Laf' for 'Love to Laugh'. [/li][/list]

Things to avoid:

Don't use a password that is listed as an example of how to pick a good password.

Don't use a password that contains personal information (name, birth date, etc.)

Don't use words or acronyms that can be found in a dictionary.

Don't use keyboard patterns (asdf) or sequential numbers (1234).

Don't make your password all numbers, uppercase letters or lowercase letters.

Don't use repeating characters (aa11).

Tips for keeping your password secure:

Never tell your password to anyone (this includes significant others, roommates, parrots, etc.).


Never write your password down.

Never send your password by email.

Periodically test your current password and change it to a new one.

Awesome, yes?

Yanni Yogi taught his parrot the passcode to a safe that Phoenix uses to prove him guilty -_-

[spoiler]The parrot is retrained during the actual trial so it no longer gives out the passcode.

What was more important was that the passcode was the same day of the D-1 incident or whatever it's called. I can't remember. :p [/spoiler]
