PSN-Only Password
Creating a password for a site or service can be tedious. With so many different accounts nowadays it can be easy to just use the same password for multiple services. However, if you want to keep all of your account secure, you really do need to use a separate password for each one.
Take the time to create a PSN-only password, this way, if another service is hacked and the password is compromised, it won’t be the same password as other sites. There are a lot of tips out there for creating a strong password, but an excellent article is one posted on HowToGeek.com.
One of the strongest passwords you can create is a string of random words. For instance, “correct horse battery staple” is an example the comic XKCD uses. This is difficult for a computer to “hack” but easy for you to remember. Pick a good password, using random words, throw in a few numbers and special characters (in unobvious places), and you’re good to go.
