Infographic: How to create a secure password

We found this great infographic that takes you through the steps to create secure passwords.  From all the sources we have looked at it is advised that passwords should be at least 8 characters in length and use a combination of numbers, keyboard characters and upper- and lower-case letters.  How long has it been since you changed yours?

You also might want to consider a program that can handle your passwords for you. Account Logon (www.accountlogon.com) and Roboform (www.roboform.com) are two well-reviewed password management programs; both offer free versions.

Here is the link to a password checker site:
