There’s finally some good news if you're trying to protect yourself from hackers. If you're looking for a hacker-proof password, simplicity may be the way to go. Here is a report on how you can build passwords that are impossible to hack, but easy to remember.

Enter password checker. Just type in microsoft.com/protect/yourself/password/checker.mspx or simply look it up on Google and click the link. Just type in a password, and you'll know instantly how strong or weak your option is.

Doing this will tell you how safe your password is from dictionary attacks that run through a whole dictionary or brute force attack that just runs through billions of combinations.

And for all you Mac OS users, password assistant is your designated guru.
