    6 letters should be minimum and maybe include a digit as well!

    At least ten characters with a healthy mix of UPPER and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters.

    Download this tool:

    Security Guide for Windows - Random Password Generator

    Its only 392 KB...very small.

    You can create passwords like: B8es7ust or b?S73raC?+...which are very difficult for anyone to seconds guess.

    Practicle Guide lines for password (maybe just too practicle ? )

    ->Mix mixes uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and punctuation
    ->built from a phrase that a user can memorise
    -> minimum characters 8 (standard rule) .... more the characters more Harder it is to break it
    ->Dont use your name , city name,pet name etc etc
    ->Avoid common words
    ->Proxy sites steal you password , never log in from proxy sites



    Example :

    Step 1:


    selecting a random phrase

    i eat weblogs

    Step 2:
    Strengthening it using things i can remember

    My favourite number = 746 (not really)

    so
    Encoding it --> i7eat4web6logs

    step 3 : Capitalising
    I7Eat4Web6logs

    step 4 : More Numerals
    I = 1
    o = 0
    s = 5

    17Eat4Web6log5

    Step 5 : Punctuating

    17E"at4W"eb6log5!

    step 6 : Symbols @ , # $ etc ...here a=@

    17E"@t4W"eb6log5!


    Tada ! A password created by you which even you wont recognise

    You dont have to follow all the steps

    Note : The stronger your password is the harder it will be to remember

    Now they use very advanced methods using technology .... nobody guesses anymore

    one of the oldest method used is

    Dictionary attack -> computer uses dictionary to enter all names/nicknames and English words ... even trying combinations such as Capitalised words For Example the computer may try rat in 3 different forms Rat /rAt/raT

    as computers are fast they can try all possible combinations in few hours

    so a hacker needs only your mail id to hack ur account !

    This can even now capture 60-70% of the passwords because users use weak password

    additional combination rules can be defined in the dictionary/Database

    Hey if you have any elementary program knowledge in any of C, C++, Java

    You can write a very simple program to generate a password for you.

    I have one for mine. But i dont use it (bit lazy).

    Also regarding Attacks

    Beware of your security questions

    Try to give funny answers for those.

    Example:
    Who is your first teacher?
    Answer - Brinjal Rice

    You need not remember it as most sites offer you to reset via email

    Minimum 8 characters.
    A combination of uppercase letter , lower case letter, numbers & special characters.
    The password must contain at least one uppercase letter , lower case letter, numbers & special characters.

    for Indians its quite easy
    take any word from your mother tongue
    write the spelling in english
    add a special character somewhere in between
    add a number also

    eg take byomkesh bokshi (the famous detective character)
    its a name so should start with a capital
    add two special characters
    Byom#kesh$Bokshi
    add a number also
    Byom#kesh$Bokshi1

    now lets see who can sugest a way to crack such passwords

    The caps lock is interesting, i generally think that passwords need to be small caps, well i suppose its a habit you dont think of adding caps to a password.

    At times i think if you need to login into an account then it would be annoying having to change the caps lock key everytime.
