All of us have to deal with passwords. Although it usually isn’t too bad, it does become a bit overwhelming when we need to update our passwords every 90 days, which is becoming more commonplace nowadays. It becomes even more complicated when we’re told that we need to create a complex password of 15 characters or more, with uppercase letters, lowercase letters, special characters, and so on. It almost gets you to the point where you need to write down your password just so that you remember it. But that does you no good, especially if that piece of paper falls into the wrong hands.

Well, passwords don’t have to be a random string of letters, numbers, and special characters. In fact, you can develop a creative play on words that is unique to you, and even better, fits the requirements necessary to generate a complex password. Attached is an infographic we have created to help you generate a password that is bullet-proof. Since it’s the week of the Big Game, we’ve decided to have a little bit of fun with it. We encourage you to print this graphic out so that you can develop a password that is unique to you. We also encourage you to subscribe to this blog so that you can stay up-to-date as we create new password infographic reminders over the coming months.
