Creating Complex Passwords

Use the following tips to create complex passwords:

Use a mix of alphabetic (upper and lower case), numeric, and special characters Â

(such as ! and @).

Don’t use words or combinations of words found in a dictionary of any language. Â

Don’t append a number to an alphabetic word (for example, “wacky2”) to fulll the Â

constraint of having a number.

Don’t substitute “look alike” numbers or symbols for letters (for example, “GR33N” Â

instead of “GREEN”).

Don’t use proper names. Â

Don’t use dates. Â

Create a password of at least 12 characters. Longer passwords are generally more Â

secure than shorter passwords.

Use passwords that can’t be guessed even by someone who knows you and your Â

interests well.

Create as random a password as possible. Â

You can use Password Assistant (located in /System/Library/CoreServices) to verify the

complexity of your password.
