EDITOR’S QUESTION
I suggest that you keep it unique to you.
Identify with the platform and add in
something from your list of favourite things,
a phrase or a lyric. Let me give you an
example to get the mind working. If you
associate Facebook with school friends and
family, use an incident at high school that
you associate with and a family joke name
then add a lyric from a song. It will be a long
password, pretty much impossible to guess.
You should remember this and giggle every
time you log in.
Make sure your passwords are unique before
you are compromised. A great password
is worth the effort. Remember that your
passwords should be treated like your
underwear – they are personal, shouldn’t be
shared and they must be changed regularly.
For additional security, one should add two-
factor authentication to any account that
supports it. This means one will have to enter
both a password and a code that’s emailed
or texted in order to log on. This will certainly
prevent hackers from accessing an account
even when they have the password.
