I have one of those little notebooks for writing down passwords, but I'm worried about someone looking over my shoulder as I write them down, so I just write every character as a dot.

Passwords must contain at least one uppercase letter, lowercase letter, numeral, and special character.

Passwords must be at least eight characters long.

Passwords must not match any of your previous twelve passwords.

Passwords should be kept away from open flames.

Passwords should not be taken if you plan to drive or operate heavy machinery.

Passwords are at your own risk; no lifeguard on duty.

Obviously, the strongest password of all is just a string of asterisks.

Strong passwords are hard to guess, so avoid using common words, uncommon words, names, letters of the alphabet, numbers, or recognizable symbols.

Passwords expire so often in corporate settings because passwords are not shelf-stable.

Passwords should be refrigerated after opening. If kept refrigerated in an airtight container, a password will last up to two weeks longer.

Some password advice from an infosec professional:

Good password hygiene means choosing a password that is hard to guess.

One that's hard to type. Hard to remember. Hard to think about. Hard to LOOK at.

A password that makes you feel disoriented, uncomfortable.

In short, your password should be a Cthulhu.
