Here are some things to be aware of. 1) Your password. Do you
ever find it hard to manage your passwords? most of us do! It's
important to have a robust password that is hard to guess--so it
shouldn't be your name, your birthday, or anything obvious. The
best passwords have a mixture of words and letters, and are at
least 8 characters long. To make it unbreakable, consider using
simple substitutions: 1 for I, 3 for E, 5 for S, 0 for O, @ for
a. Thus, for example, the word "Christian" could be written
"Chr15t1@n". (That's still a pretty obvious word, so I'd try
something more obscure, like the name of your first grade
teacher). Don't use the same password for "mission critical"
online experiences (e.g., online banking, anything linked to
your credit card) and more lightweight applications (facebook).
You might also consider setting up a second email address, using
one of the free providers (gmail, yahoo, hotmail) to use when
you sign up for something, to keep your real address more secure
and spam free. Expert
