- "mango17kite" has nothing about the owner.
- One is easy to guess. The other is not.
Anyone who knows the owner could.
A password built from you is easy to guess.
Names, birthdays and pet names are easy to guess. So are "1234" and "0000". A strong password mixes capital letters, small letters and numbers. It also has signs, like ! or #. Share a password only with a parent.
