    These passwords are not recommened, even not to be used:

    QWERTY
    This password be be weird, but they are the first 6 letters of the keyboard...hence, the hacker liking to try it.

    Your personal info:
    Most of the times, hackers are actual friends or family. They can find it easier to get in.

    The name of your pet/animal:
    Animal passwords are easy to get through and actually naming the Pet's name can be easy for the family member. The animal is easy for any hackers.

    Your name:
    Long story short, people with their Login IDs and putting it as a password is the easiest way to get in.



    WHAT I RECOMMEND (From there, it's my point of view)

    Use letters and numbers:
    Hackers are always frustrating themselves with digits together. Hackers will give up.

    Mix it!:
    Mixing letters and numbers, like this:
    l33t or like m00t or even 7jm9op0 is THE OWN WAY to get 98% impossible hijacking.
    Although, in order to remember it, try to minimize it to 8 characters...can your brain memorize this?:
    5490ut9u54ehy45tm0h76u0698540ybj549084ujb084uy609g 546

    At last but not least:
    DO NOT TELL PASSWORD TO FAMILY OR FRIEND!!!

    One of my passwords is a combo of uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers, 17 digits long. And I only remember it by how my fingers move on the keyboard xD

    Nice guide thing though. =]

    Hmm, yes taking those tips do work but hackers have fair more ways of getting into things without having the password in the first place. I wont get into detail so no-one gets ideas, but yeah.

    No .. most wouldn't.

    Nice post though, will help a lot of members.

    I have 2 passwords like that. i cant say them out loud, mainly because i need a keyboard infront of me to be able to enter it xD

    Only like 8 letters each though.
