how to create strong and secure password

It may happens you may spend an hour or two regulary everyday on Internet,but obivous you  will use few more social networking sites,few more e mails to cloud storage,few more net banking,and so on....so this would definately requires a password. People in this case would mostly use same password for all the accounts,

Now problem arise that this would be kind of spell disaster to you.
It may happens that one of your account is hacked,all other associated online accounts and properties would be at risk.


Therefore it is recommended to use a strong and long password.

What does good and strong password means??

-> 7 to 8 characters long
->avoid names,birth dates,common nouns,etc
->include uppercase and lowercase combined...in special case it is preferable to use symbols too.
->use numbers too
->seperate two different words with a number...example: hello123bye
->to make stronger enough use digit 0 instead of letter 'o' hel00123bye
->now suppose you have different accounts then you can go for the same password but with a minor changes..for example
    facebook: Fhell00123bye
    Gmail: Ghell00123bye
    Yahoo: Yhell00123bye
->If you still are not satisfied you can go for free password-making services such as passwordsgenerator. net or www. strongpasswordgenerator. org
