2. Avoid using name(s) as password.
3. NEVER use password(s) you've previously used on a website while signing up on another.
4. Follow experts password creating samples while creating one on ANY website.
5. NB: Experts recommend usage of a fifteen(15) character long password while creating one on any site.
6. Use a Password Generating Tools(PGT) while creating password online,if the site you're surfing make it available.
7. Form Strong passwords by replacing the alphabets included in your password with a SIMILAR number(s).
8. Using "Lovely" as password will be insecure as compared with "l0v3ly". Replacing "O" and "E" with numbers "0" & "3".
9. Including the "Spacebar" button of the keyboard with your password will be of greater help,'cos it's hard to notice.
10. Using "Case-mixed" passwords often is a good move for online safety. E.g. Using "L0V3lY" instead of "l0v3ly"
11. NEVER disclose your password to anyone;no matter who he/she could be to you. Your password is meant for YOU ALONE.
12. Remember to "Always use word(s) and/Or numbers you'll be able to EASILY REMEMBER as password when needed".
