Answer 1

Hmm, it's entirely up to your friend, and what they find easy to remember but hard to guess.

Here's what I do to think of passwords and it helps keep them secure.

First pick a specific format. ie. word-three numbers-special character.

Then pick a word that has some meaning to you. I like thunderstorms so Ill choose 'storm'.

Next, pick a number that has meaning to you. A birthday year is a good one, so '1989'.

Lastly, choose a special character that you can relate to in a password recovery question without actually saying it. Asterisk is a good one, and can be refered to as 'star'. '*'

Here's the result:
'storm1989*"

Another way to create a strong and memorable password is to grab your favourite phrase and choose the first or last one or two letters in each word, ie. "It's my freedom, it's my duty, it's my war"
Choosing the last two letters from each word:
"omtyar"

Using a combination of the two can work too:
"omtyar192!"

Just make sure that the PC is free of keyloggers/spyware and no-one is looking over your friends shoulder when the password is being entered.

A proximity lock allows your friend to lock the PC from interaction while they're not present and unlock it when they are.
Here's one:

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

There is no such thing as a secure yet fun password. Any password that uses a real word is easily cracked by simple password cracking software.

Never use a word that is in the dictionary. Follow Oddball's advice ( durn, he is quick on answering tonight) and make up a non real word password using his guidelines.

A password cracking program can check all English words in a matter of minutes, using a word that is in the dictionary will give no protection.

Good luck.

Answer 3

3lbereth! (Elbereth with an ! and the capital E as a 3) Elbereth Glithoniel is the "Queen of Heaven" in Tolkien mythology. The most beautiful goddess of the Vala.

!s#1 (she is number 1, where is her name).

Tint@g3l (Tintagel with the a as an @ and the e as a 3) Tintagel is the castle where King Arthur was born.

N0t_s0_3@5y (Not so easy, with 0's for o's, 3's for e's, etc.)

Pr!nc355 (Princess, again with character misspellings)

G0dd355 (Goddess...)

@ng3lf!re (Angelfire....)

!n_y0ur_dr3@m5 (In your dreams)

All of these would be relatively easy to remember and unique. Also, each meets the complex password policies Microsoft recommends. Impossible to guess, and almost impossible to crack, even with a dictionary attack.

Answer 4

Do it right. Make a password of AT LEAST 8 characters and of random Letters, Numbers and Symbols.

Answer 5

naa. that ain't true. u can tell the way it is worded that it is not true. it sounds like the writer is trying to scare u or something, and even tried to sound professional. Not going to work! Saying "this isn't a joke" and "it will coast $10.00 a month to use the account just doesn't sound right. A real professional wont do that, and the company can't just shut down the system. All in all its not realistic enough.

Answer 6
