To protect services on the Web or in your everyday life, you use passwords. To verify that a password is very secure and it offers effective protection, you can use a tester password.

1. In your Web browser, go to the address http://www.microsoft.com/protect/you...d/checker.mspx.
   
   
2. Enter the password to test in the password field.
   
   
3. The effectiveness of your password is then indicated. For better protection, your password must be BEST.
   
   
4. According to Microsoft, a secure password should appear as a random string of characters for the attacker. It must contain 14 or more characters (8 characters minimum). It should include a combination of lowercase, uppercase, numbers and symbols.
