Ace IT Tips – Passwords

Remembering passwords can be a chore, so with that in mind here are some tips on creating easy to remember passwords for your general everyday IT.

• Don’t make a password too random, try to use something you will remember.
• Use a mix of uppercase lowercase, numbers and symbols.
• Base it on something you know but not easily guessed.

So if for example you like sausages, Harry Kane and U2 you can create a password of Walls!Harry!U2

Or maybe you like horses, Bake Off and your parents live in Abergavenny which could give you a password of foalHollywood01873?

Even an unlikely liking of Forest, County and football could give you #Rams#1966#Reds

 Just try to keep it upbeat and memorable, especially if it’s a password you need to type in every day.
