1. Include a combination of upper and lowercase alphabetic characters, symbols, and numbers.
2. Make sure the password is more than six characters (the longer, the better).
3. Avoid using all or part of your name in your password.
4. Stay away from using an all-numbers password or a single, repeated letter.
