Passwords:You Don’t Need to Be A Genius!
PASSWORD Best Practice• LONG passwords (12-15 ++ characters)• Avoid whole words/phrases• Spread Symbols and Numbers Throughout• Unique password for each important site
(never use twice!) e-commerce, bank.• Change Infrequently• Should be different than username• Never use email password on another site.
– Email is frequently used as user name for logins.• 2-factor authentication for important data.• DON’T SHARE PASSWORDS!• IF you write them down, secure that list! OR
use hints only YOU would know.• Passwords stored in browsers are visible
(Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer)

Two Can Play this Game!• Think of a unusual sentence:
“The Chicago Blackhawks Should Play In Green 81 I Love Marian Hossa” (Tcbspig81ilMH)
• Three Word Model:– Ex: Object, Place, Color• - Symbol to separate• - Capitalize ONE word• - Add a number
• Vowels into numbers: Tcb@mft81, Tcb@mft8!, Cthr11cbaugn03
• Remove Vowels: Tcbspg81lmh!
• Build around a base:– Tcbsp1g81ilMHFaceBook– Tcbsp1g81ilMHMyBank– Tcbsp1g81ilMHTarget
