Passwords should be a jumble of letters & numbers... Capital & small letters... over 10 "digits"... 13 to 16 digits is best:
a12Bc34dE56F7
Hotmail & MSN have to have a letter as your first "digit"... other sites don't.
"Friends" who know you pretty well can figure out your 'secret questions'... or you might "share" too much info about yourself to an internet "friend" who then figures it out... so it's best to lie:
Question: What City Were You Born In? [ Most family & friends will know the answer.] YOUR Answer: Jupiter Venus New York City -OR- a12Bc34dE56F7 - only make it different from your password.
Put this info in an email or word document and save it to a cd or disc... also print it out and keep both disc & printout in a safe place where no one else can find it. Print out a second copy to keep in a fireproof safe, freezer, or wherever it won't burn up. Do not save the info to your hard drive in case someone hacks into your computer and goes through files in search of such information.
There are also programs that you can save your passwords in, which is password protected. You then need only learn the one password.
