How to make better passwords

RealAudio or MP3

What makes a good password for your online banking account? For your home on MySpace? For your e-mail account? Computer security expert Bruce Schneier says the best password is one that's too long and random to remember.

Schneier recommends passwords of about 10 characters in length, with a mix of letters, numbers and characters.

You can also download Schneier's free password management program.
