Password Tip
The trick with long complex passwords is remembering them - so one tip is use a long password made up of the first letters of the words of a favoutite poem, rhyme or song - and make some capitals. For Example:
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are, (then use the commas and add a number) gives you:
Ttls,Hiwwya,22 (a 14 character password with 2 capitals, 2 special characters and 2 numbers which according to this Password Checker would take 32,000 years to crack)
