What’s Your Password?

I don't have time to write a long entry tonight, so I'm going to break from my series explaining how to make a local mail replica for this entry.

Your password is a very important part of the security of Lotus Notes.   I know sometimes they can be annoying, but so can having to use the key to get into the front door of your house.   Security is necessary sometimes.  I read a great tip today in the Lotus Business Partner forum about passwords that I thought I'd share with you.

Your Lotus Notes password does not have to be a single word, it can be a sentence.

So instead of some complicated combination of letters and numbers, which you just end up writing down somewhere anyway, choose something important to you.  For example, "I love playing tennis", or "I hate having to remember passwords".   These will be difficult for someone to guess, but still easy for you to remember.
