Using letters, capital letters, numbers and special characters will give your system more protection. This will help deter hackers and hacker systems from gaining access to your accounts and personal data.

Writing your passwords down can be a good idea. Keeping the password you wrote down next to the computer is a bad idea. When you write that password down, put the password in a notebook and keeping that notebook in a safe spot would be best.
The key is not to lose the notebook you put your password in. If your notebook gets stolen your account or system has the potential of getting hacked.
Another great way to keep your account safe is to use multi factor authentication.This is an application that allows another layer of security.
