Keep your passwords as secret as possible.
Never write a password down. Popular, but completely unsuitable
storage options include notebooks, wallets and text files in comput-
ers. Do not pass on your password unnecessarily.
Select a random password.
Use random strings of letters and numbers. Passwords from common
language usage are not secure.
Change the password regularly or immediately if you feel it has been
compromised.
Passwords should be changed as frequently as possible. This
requires a little effort, but increases your security considerably.
Even if only the slightest indication of a leak exists, the password
should be changed.
