- │ When selecting a password, remember these tips: │
- │ │
- │ <1> Do not use a common or easy to guess password. (PASSWORD is an │
- │ excellent example of a poorly chosen password) │
- │ <2> Do not use the same password on more than one system. (If your │
- │ password is cracked on another BBS, chances are the culprit will │
- │ try the same password on this system too!) │
- │ <3> Write the password down in a safe place. (You will forget it, │
- │ very easily in fact. And often the SysOp gets the blame) │
- │ <4> Pick a password with at least five to eight characters. (You can │
- │ use any alphanumeric character) It will make it more difficult │
- │ for someone to logon with your name by merely pressing down │
- │ on the keyboard. │
