How Can I Avoid a Bad Password?

Avoid passwords that would be easy for anyone to guess.

Don't use:

Dictionary words (mackerel, dandelion, millionaire).
Foreign words (octobre, gesundheit, sayonara).
Simple transformations of words (tiny8, 7eleven, dude!).
Names, doubled names, first name and last initial (mabell, kittykitty, marissab).
Uppercase or lowercase words (MAGAZINE, licorice).
An alphabet sequence (lmnop) or a keyboard sequence (ghjkl;).
Very short words or just one character (dog, *, hi!, me, love).
Words that have the vowels removed (sbtrctn, cntrlntllgnc).
Phone numbers.
Numbers substituted for letters, like a zero instead of the letter O or a number 1 in place of the letter l.
