How to create a strong


password video transcript:
We use passwords for many different
websites. And if you're like most people
your password has been hacked at least
once. And if you use the same password for
other websites all someone needs is your
web browsing history & then pretty soon
your online banking account could be
targeted next.

If you're wondering how secure your


password is, howsecureismypassword.net is
a great tool to show how fast your password
can be hacked.

These Quick Tips are about how to create


strong easy to remember passwords for
each website.

There are many different techniques


ranging from exchanging some letters for
numbers and symbols to using math.

But my favorite way is to abbreviate your


own unique sentence.

Start with a sentence that is easy for you to


remember. Like I might say: I was born in
San Francisco in 1972.

Take the first letter of each word and create


an abbreviation. IwbiSFi1972. Or how
about Quick Tips are fun to watch! Becomes
QTaftw! The great thing about using a
sentence for this is you always have at least
one Uppercase letter, lowercase letters, and
a symbol. Add your favorite number to get
all your bases covered. And you have an
easy to remember, strong password.

You can do this technique with any phrase!

Okay but what about using a different


password for each website?

Well, all you need to do is take the name of


the website, let's use Twitter for example,
and add that abbreviation to the front, end,
or my favorite place, right before the
number.

So my original password becomes


IwbiSFi1972.T3 And my Google password
would look like this IwbiSFi1972.G3 And my
Bank of America and so on.

So in review 1) Use a sentence you will


never forget to be your base password (This
is my base password.) and abbreviate it. 2)
Then abbreviate the name of the website
you are registering an account with, and add
it to the end of your base password 3) And
finally add your favorite number
(Timbp.G2012).

Now you know how to create easy to


remember passwords that are strong and
unique.
