Do you need support?

We are often asked to set-up clients' email addresses, which is not a problem..... well, it shouldn't be. The trouble is the answer to one specific question...

And the password is...?

 So what do we recommend, in a world of "unique passwords" how can you remember this one?

The truth is we have no magic wand, and if you haven't gone for one of the paid for password vaults, there really isn't ONE answer.

But here are a couple of options:

• Make it Numeric and tie it in to the end of a phone number that you'll remember
• Use word association ie your Gmail - could be a family member / pet beginning with G
• Use a system - the same start or end point and vary the rest.
• Use a long password. The longer your password is, the harder it is to guess.
• Use a password with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
  
• Try using a memorable phrase that only you know, using the first letter of each word.
  

These are not from a security expert, merely just from a memory point of view. If you are in need of very secure passwords, the likelihood is your IT advisor will supply a password for you. Secure - because you don't know it!
