How to create a valid password

[Guest new user]

I want to create a new account on AFN, but my password won't be accepted as valid. How do I create a valid password, and can you hand me a few suggestions?

It can only contain letters and numbers, and must be 8 or more characters in length

Passwords need to be 8 characters long, and consist of letters and numbers. Passwords are also case sensitive, so be careful to note if you use capital letters anywhere.

Okay, I got the letters and numbers part, and the sensitivity part. I want to know an easy way to make a valid password.

[BronxWench]

You really should not be asking other people for password suggestions since that defeats the whole account security premise. I can suggest that you mix letters and numbers for a stronger password, and choose something that you will remember.

Right.

One more thing. What does case sensitive mean? I know I said I knew about "case sensitivity", but I honestly don't understand it.

If I type

PaSSwoRD

then I have to type it that way every time. It won't accept

password

or

PASSWORD

or

pAssWOrd

Case sensitive is exactly how you typed it - upper case or lower case for each letter is recorded by the software.

Okay. I think I got it now. Thanks.
