Use strong (long, random) passwords. Practice them.

Use strong (long, random) passwords. Practice them.: " to use "dictionary words" (real words that are in dictionaries) in their passwords. The problem is that it only takes a hacker about 250,000 tries to run through every word in the English language, and doing that is usually one of the first steps in a password cracking attack. Trying to choose an "obscure" word is pointless. They'll try them all, anyway."
