Password story telling

Okay the first post was way too long so i will keep the rest short and simple. As mentioned in the previous post the password JS2004vert21chips is not that strong a password as it contains words in the dictionary (french&English). So here is how I'd make proper password using a short story.

I wake up everyday at 7am to go work, after having a shower i have breakfast, 2toast,1apple and a cup of tea. now its 7.45am, my mrs now kisses me and says "goodbye". I start the car and set of for my £300 a week job 6miles away . i finish every day at 5pm

Did you see the potential for a very secure password using our daily activities, here's the password i got. This only works if you do have a daily schedule you always keep too like going to work

7PM ==time get up
2t ==1st thing i eat
1a ==2nd thing i eat
XXX ==kisses from the mrs
"" == from wife sayin goodbye
£ == another symbol
6 ==distance to work
5PM == time i finish work

our secure password now uses small case, upper case, numbers and symbols.

7AM2t1aXXX""£65PM

hopefully you can adopt this to fit around your own daily activities, this works best if its the same thing very day.

As this password evolves from a story about waking and going to work it would be an ideal password to use at work.

(If the the IT guy at your work had any real use he would force you to change your password once a month at the very least and not let you use the last 5 previous passwords)

OK these first 2 post just about covers passwords for now, remember this is just a small guide on passwords and doesn't cover pin numbers or ATM Skimming.

Remember this blog is intended as a guide only. Its purpose is to encourage you to use secure methods when using internet bank/online shopping.Just so you feel a little bit safer when shopping on ebay, amazon or using paypal.

A secure password is just one of the steps needed in the fight against fraud.
