If possible, use a password
management software.
Password management software
helps to use unique and
complex passwords for
multiple systems.
Do not reuse the same
password on multiple
systems. The reason is that
if one system is compromised
the other systems are likely
not at risk.
If
you must write down a
password, do not write down
the whole password. If you
withhold two letters from
the written password, it is
likely the account would be
locked before the someone
was able to figure out that
the complete password was
not there. An example is
below.
