In brief
It can be difficult to choose a good password: the password should be fairly long and shouldn't be guessable, but at the same time it should be easy to remember. Always make sure to use both upper and lower case alphabetic characters as well as non-alphabetic characters. Avoid using names or dictionary words in any language, and make sure to change your passwords periodically. Choosing a good password is an important part of our safe computing recommendations.
