If you are work working on any friends computer or visiting any cyber cafe and find any black pin attached to your CPU as shown in the picture, kindly do not use that system.
Because this pin is actually a connection which saves all your data you enter in the system.

Password Guidelines:
Choosing the right password is something that many people find difficult, there are so many things that require passwords these days that remembering them all can be a real problem. Perhaps because of this a lot of people choose their passwords very badly. The simple tips below are intended to assist you in choosing a good password.
Basics
Use at least eight characters, the more characters the better really, but most people will find anything more than about 15 characters difficult to remember.
Use a random mixture of characters, upper and lower case, numbers, punctuation, spaces and symbols.
Don't use a word found in a dictionary, English or foreign.
Never use the same password twice.
Things to avoid
Don't just add a single digit or symbol before or after a word. e.g. "apple1"
Don't double up a single word. e.g. "appleapple"
Don't simply reverse a word. e.g. "elppa"
Don't just remove the vowels. e.g. "ppl"
Key sequences that can easily be repeated. e.g. "qwerty","asdf" etc.
Don't just garble letters, e.g. converting e to 3, L or i to 1, o to 0. as in "z3r0-10v3"

Tips
Choose a password that you can remember so that you don't need to keep looking it up, this reduces the chance of somebody discovering where you have written it down.
Choose a password that you can type quickly, this reduces the chance of somebody discovering your password by looking over your shoulder.
Bad Passwords
Don't use passwords based on personal information such as: name, nickname, birthdate, wife's name, pet's name, friends name, home town, phone number, social security number, car registration number, address etc. This includes using just part of your name, or part of your birthdate.
Don't use passwords based on things located near you. Passwords such as "computer", "monitor", "keyboard", "telephone", "printer", etc. are useless.
Don't ever be tempted to use one of those oh so common passwords that are easy to remember but offer no security at all. e.g. "password", "letmein".
Never use a password based on your username, account name, computer name or email address.
Choosing a password
Use good password generator software.
Use the first letter of each word from a line of a song or poem.
Alternate between one consonant and one or two vowels to produce nonsense words. eg. "taupouti".
Choose two short words and concatenate them together with a punctuation or symbol character between the words. eg. "seat%tree"
-
Changing your password
You should change your password regularly, I suggest once a month is reasonable for most purposes.
You should also change your password whenever you suspect that somebody knows it, or even that they may guess it, perhaps they stood behind you while you typed it in.
Remember, don't re-use a password.
Protecting your password
Never store your password on your computer except in an encrypted form. Note that the password cache that comes with windows (.pwl files) is NOT secure, so whenever windows prompts you to "Save password" don't.
Don't tell anyone your password, not even your system administrator
Never send your password via email or other unsecured channel
Yes, write your password down but don't leave the paper lying around, lock the paper away somewhere, preferably off-site and definitely under lock and key.
Be very careful when entering your password with somebody else in the same room.
-
Remembering your password
Remembering passwords is always difficult and because of this many people are tempted to write them down on bits of paper. As mentioned above this is a very bad idea. So what can you do?
Use a secure password manager, see the downloads page for a list of a few that won't cost you anything.
Use a text file encrypted with a strong encryption utility.
Choose passwords that you find easier to remember.

Bad Examples
"fred8" - Based on the users name, also too short.
"christine" - The name of the users girlfriend, easy to guess
"kciredref" - The users name backwords
"indescribable" - Listed in a dictionary
"iNdesCribaBle" - Just adding random capitalisation doesn't make it safe.
"gandalf" - Listed in word lists
"zeolite" - Listed in a geological dictionary
"qwertyuiop" - Listed in word lists
"merde!" - Listed in a foreign language dictionary
Good Examples
None of these good examples are actually good passwords, that's because they've been published here and everybody knows them now, always choose your own password don't just use somebody elses.
How would a potential hacker get hold of my password anyway?
There are four main techniques hackers can use to get hold of your password:
Steal it. That means looking over your should when you type it, or finding the paper where you wrote it down. This is probably the most common way passwords are compromised, thus it's very important that if you do write your password down you keep the paper extremely safe. Also remember not to type in your password when somebody could be watching.
Guess it. It's amazing how many people use a password based on information that can easily be guessed. Psychologists say that most men use 4 letter obscenities as passwords and most women use the names of their boyfriends, husbands or children.
A brute force attack. This is where every possible combination of letters, numbers and symbols in an attempt to guess the password. While this is an extremely labour intensive task, with modern fast processors and software tools this method is not to be underestimated. A Pentium 100 PC might typically be able to try 200,000 combinations every second this would mean that a 6 character password containing just upper and lower case characters could be guessed in only 27½ hours.
A dictionary attack. A more intelligent method than the brute force attack described above is the dictionary attack. This is where the combinations tried are first chosen from words available in a dictionary. Software tools are readily available that can try every word in a dictionary or word list or both until your password is found. Dictionaries with hundreds of thousands of words, as well as specialist, technical and foreign language dictionaries are available, as are lists of thousands of words that are often used as passwords such as "qwerty", "abcdef" etc.
The top 50 passwords you should never use:
Are you one of the many people who is using a dangerously easy-to-guess password?
Maybe now's the time to fix that before it's too late.
Twitter, LinkedIn, World of Warcraft and Yahoo are amongst the popular websites which are advising users to change their passwords in light of the recent security breach at the Gawker Media family of sites.
The issue is that many people (33% in our research) use the same password on every single website. That means that if your password gets stolen in one place (like Gawker's Gizmodo or Lifehacker websites), it can be used to unlock access to other sites too.
Unfortunately, an analysis of the passwords stolen in the Gawker incident show that many people are choosing very poor passwords, that are easy for intruders to guess:
Disturbing isn't it? Too many of us are choosing risible passwords - and trust me, the hackers know about the most commonly chosen passwords and are quick to try them out when trying to break into your accounts. Malware like the infamous Conficker worm have even had lists of commonly-used passwords built into them - and have used them to try to spread further.
So, clearly people need to get out of the habit of using the same password everywhere, and they also need to ensure that their passwords are not easy to guess or crack.
But another thought springs to my mind. Why don't more websites test the password that you've chosen to ensure that it's strong enough?
It would be fairly simple, for instance, when a new user creates an account for the website to run the password they submit against a database of commonly used passwords and a dictionary. If the password you offer is a dictionary word, or is too easy to crack then it should be rejected by the website.
If websites simply tell users to change their passwords after the Gawker incident what's to stop folks changing their "123456" password to the just as bad "password" password?
We need to not just drum into users heads about the importance of password safety, but also police submitted passwords better to ensure weak ones *can't* easily be chosen.
Here's a YouTube video I made a while back showing how to choose a hard-to-crack but easy-to-remember password. It also explains how password management software programs like 1Password, KeePass and LastPass can help you remember all your different passwords.
