Regular words are not a good choice since those are easily guessable via brute force dictionary attacks. Username doesn't matter too much but basically for maximum security it would be good to use something a bit more complex.banter wrote: I use good old fashioned pen and paper to store passwords! I know, that sounds very old fashioned but it works for meI use names that mean something for me that others won't recognize if they found the paper eg instead of writing "CMSMS admin" I might put "Holiday"
I personally always change the admin directory to something else and use some other account name instead of "admin".
I wish there was something as elegant as Apple's keychain for XP/Vista.
