Choosing a secure password

Many of you will have experienced what it is like to have a favourite forum hacked and the loss of posts that you have taken time over and the general uncertainty and disruption while everything is fixed.

With this in mind, please think about how you choose your passwords.

General guidelines:

1 Never use the same password for any other thing that you log into

2 Do not pick obvious words like names of family or occult related names for forums like these

3 Use a mix of letters and numbers

4 Make them at least 8 characters long

5 Change your password periodically

6 Don't send your password over the internet

7 DON'T tell anyone else your password

Other tips are to misspell chosen words or mix several words together that only make sense to you
