    @AnandK @Ari Thanks a lot! I'm glad that you found this blog post useful. As you've added, a good and secure password should be a combination of all the possibilities on keyboard.

    Always it is a good practice to avoid keeping passwords that are generic in nature which are easily guessable like your personal data including name, pet name, address, mobile number, driving license, vehicle number, date of birth etc. Similarly it is a good practice to commit the password to memory rather than writing it down somewhere. And make sure you logout as it may not be safe at all to leave the computer unattended with an active login session.
