Create secure passwords you can remember

Most passwords are easy to guess. Take a stab at it and see if your officemate uses his or her name, kids' names or dog's to get into their system.

These days, it's important to protect your password at every step of the way. InfoWorld.com has a few tips on how to create a secure password that cannot be hacked.
