For Alex's New Year's resolution he created 52 goals.  Each goal is written on a promise card.  Every Sunday he selects one at random and has one week to fulfill the promise.  This week Alex drew the card "I will update my top 10 online accounts with more secure passwords."  

Here are a couple of tips that I got from Lifehacker.com:
- Use passphrases instead of passwords. The longer the password, the better.
- Don't use keyboard patterns like "5678" or "qwerty"
- Try to abbreviate words. Instead of using the word "RIVER" in your passowrd, use "RVR" instead.
