Suggest you all read this as even as a very knowledgeable computer person I learned a few things plus some tips - K.I.S.S.

Security expert Bruce Schneier writes about passwords often, and he distills Thompson’s findings into a few rules: Choose a password that doesn’t contain a readable word. Mix upper and lower case. Use a number or symbol in the middle of the word, not on the end. Don’t just use 1 or !, and don’t use symbols as replacements for letters, such as @ for a lowercase A—password-guessing software can see through that trick. And of course, create unique passwords for your different sites.
