na hii iwe funzo kwa wengine; using your wife's/daughter's name as password is just asking for trouble  .Seriously though a mother tongue name,one special xter+(kina*#)+ one or two numbers will do.@alustaadh what does pc software have to do with web based email?

Ahsante.Will do that right away.Can the link lead me to the idiot?.Nitusi yeye kidogo tuu  And as a general rule avoid the following when creating a password; (1) English words - hacking algorithms crack these very quickly. (2) Dates on their own - same as 1 above (3) Names A sentence in a mixture of Kikuyu,English and Kiswahili could be a great password eg password - njoi ino ni tamu very much =nj011n0n1tamuv3rymuch$ (requires a very sophisticated piece of code and a lot of time to crack this) Having a complex password is not all. Most hackers use spyware to steal passwords. The damn thing will record the sites you visit and the data you enter on the log-in forms. So having a good anti-virus/anti spy-ware is vital
