How To Choose A Secure Computer Password

How do I choose a secure password?

There are several ways to choose a secure password. One is to have some kind of application just randomly create one for you. There are many of these on the internet where you can just tell it how many digits you need and it just randomly generates them. You can also do this on your own; you can just randomly generate a series of numbers and letters. What you want to avoid however is creating a password or security code that is so closely related to you that it would be very easy for somebody to figure out what it might be; birthdays, anniversaries, these are very popular types of passwords. In creating a password that is going to provide the most security for you, you really want to mix up the alphanumeric characters; you want to have a combination of numbers and a combination of letters. You also want to have a combination of uppercase letters and a combination of lowercase letters. This increases the security or I should say decreases the chance that somebody is going to be able to figure out what it is, especially if those numbers and letters have no meaning to you personally.
