Good Passwords
The security of the PrivaSphere Secure Messaging system relies on the quality of the password you choose:
- A password should be a minimum of eight characters long.
- Include some form of special character or digit.
- Do not use things that can be easily determined such as phone number, friends names and alike.
- Do not repeat any character more than once in a row like zzz.
- It is not unheard of that you have too many passwords to really memorize them only with your brain. passwordSafe on sourceforge.net may be an approach to record them on you computer.
