Sites will often ask you to provide a security question and answer for use when you forget your password. Try for something complex or personal so nefarious types can’t figure out the answer with a simple Google search—McAfee suggests a question like, ‘How was your first kiss?’ with a quirky answer only you would think of (‘Rocked it like a hurricane!’).
Just like you don’t want an obvious answer to a security question, you don’t want your password to contain a word or phrase that’s meaningful to you, like your sister’s name or your hometown. These are too easy to guess (and can simply be found online). Try incorporating ‘opposite’ words, like your least favorite color or the site of your least favorite vacation.
Many sites and programs don’t actually allow you to use a space in your password, which is exactly why it’s valuable to do so when you can. Anyone trying to guess at your password may not even think to tap on the space bar.
