Safer Passwords and Mobile Security

Can I borrow your phone? Sure! Wait, don't you need my password? I guessed it. How did you guess my password? Well, I figured it was your birthday or your favorite sports team, or maybe something about your brand new puppy. And it was your birthday, so I got it on the first try. All right, I really need to pick something more secure. What should I do? To start, choose something I don't know based on your Facebook page or your Twitter stream. My work assigned me a really complicated password for company things. I've already memorized it, maybe I could just reuse it for everything? Complicated is good; you should have more than one password though. How can I make and remember different passwords for everything? A good way to make complicated passwords is to choose a phrase that you'll remember and then to base your password on that using letters and numbers. For instance, "To be or not to be, that is the question." Thanks! I'm going to make a new password and you can try to guess it!
