How can you Manage a “PASSWORD” Complete Detail……

Here’s how to select strong passwords that are easy to remember and fun to create.
Does your password training currently go something like this?
Select a password that is easy to remember, but hard to guess.
Do not use your name, your children’s, animal’s, or parent’s names
Do not use a word found in the dictionary
Include alpha and numeric characters
Password minimum is 7 characters
Do not write your password down
Do not share your password with anyone
Not bad…these are all valid, common rules you may have seen for choosing passwords. However, selecting quality, easy-to-remember passwords requires a little more effort — and can be a whole lot more fun!
Remember a favorite song. Is it “Ho Sakay To Mera Ik Kaaam Kro” Your password is like HSTMIKK or Use either song — or any other favorite — to create a password that is more difficult to crack. Take the first letter of each word and then add a special character or number and you will have a good password.
If you and music don’t mix, consider something about you, your friends or family. “My Son Attends a Funny Party at City School.” That becomes MSAAFPACS—or, add a special character or number and statistically it gets even stronger, MS@@FP@CS. “I Took My Son To See Shrek,” becomes ITMS2SS.
Your button still isn’t pushed? Another technique for creating passwords that aren’t in a dictionary or easily guessed is to combine words to create new words. Examples would include Party Animal, which becomes PARANI%. Happy New Year becomes HAPNEWY*.
No password is perfect, and even the best system can be broken with enough time, money and computing power. But by using creative techniques like these, you will create better passwords. This will strengthen security and help ensure patient confidentiality. It’s your turn. Be creative and select a first class password. It may even be fun!
