TIP:
For enhanced security, consider using a misspelled word. This
helps protect against sophisticated hackers who use a database of
common words (as in a dictionary attack) to determine a password.
An even better approach is to use a password that includes some
numbers. Making the password as long as possible (up to the full
eight characters) also improves its security.
