Here are some tips on how you can effectively manage what is undoubtedly a large posse of passwords you are forced to have.<\/p>\n<p> &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Use songs\/ poems to create strong  passwords. &#8216;Ma Tujhe Salaam, Amma Tujhe Salaam; Vande Maataram&#8217; might be: MtsatsvM<\/p>\n<p> &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Keep strong separate passwords at least for your important accounts. Do not use your banking password anywhere else. <\/p>\n<p> &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Vary your password slightly based on what you are accessing. For eg. say your base password is: foxwolf. Say the rule you have decided to adopt is &#8216;base password + last letter of application name (in CAPS) + first letter of application name  + length of application name&#8217;. So your password for your Gmail acount will be: foxwolfLg5 and your password for your Ebay account will be: foxwolfYe4. This is much better than having the same password for all accounts.<\/p>\n<p> &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Use strong passwords even if you have to write it down.
