Hanover: Most computer users realize that their private data is safest, when they use a different password for each website. But keeping track of all those passwords can be a problem and there's always the temptation to use the same password often making it easier for a hacker to guess it. The German computer c't magazine recommends using variations of a single password for all your internet needs. Choose a word with at least eight letters, numerals and special characters. Alternate between upper and lower case and then it becomes a user's basic password. To make the password unique for each site, users should add the name of the website at the beginning or the end of the personalized password.
