stuff.co.nz has a good article with some handy tips on how to create a better password.

It seems we’re not very creative when we come up with our passwords. In 2009, 10,000 Hotmail passwords were leaked. The most popular passwords?  123456, followed by 123456789. Not very secure!

I use the Password Generator tool over at pctools.com whenever I need a new password. It’s great. It instantaneously generates a password of whichever length you choose. So next time you’re in need of a password, give this tool a go.
