I heard this on a radio some other day and it caught my attention. Thought I'd share it.
These passwords are not recommened, even not to be used:
QWERTY
This password be be weird, but they are the first 6 letters of the keyboard...hence, the hacker liking to try it.
Your personal info:
Most of the times, hackers are actual friends or family. They can find it easier to get in.
The name of your pet/animal:
Animal passwords are easy to get through and actually naming the Pet's name can be easy for the family member. The animal is easy for any hackers.
Your name:
Long story short, people with their Login IDs and putting it as a password is the easiest way to get in.
WHAT I RECOMMEND (From there, it's my point of view)
Use letters and numbers:
Hackers are always frustrating themselves with digits together. Hackers will give up.
Mix it!:
Mixing letters and numbers, like this:
l33t or like m00t or even 7jm9op0 is THE OWN WAY to get 98% impossible hijacking.
Although, in order to remember it, try to minimize it to 8 characters...can your brain memorize this?:

At last but not least:
DO NOT TELL PASSWORD TO FAMILY OR FRIEND!!!
