Make a strong password do it imposible to hack an email account

Contains seven to sixteen characters. impossible

Uses three of the following four types of characters:

Uppercase letters (A, B, C).

Lowercase letters (a, b, c).

Numerals (1, 2, 3).

Special characters (` ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) * Isn't a common word or name, or a close variation on a common word or name.

Your password can't contain: * Spaces or non-English characters. * The portion of your e-mail address before the @ symbol. * Your question or secret answer.

# To help secure your personal information, don't write down your password, or share it with anyone else.

# Windows Live ID will never ask you for your password in an e-mail message. Be cautious of unsolicited e-mail messages that appear to be from Windows Live ID or Microsoft Customer Support and provide a link for you to sign in to your account. Someone may be impersonating Windows Live ID to get your password.

# If you have more than one e-mail account, use a different password for each account.

Is an email from your bank requesting your account number and PIN legitimate especially if it contains your name and social security number in the email?

No, because the bad guys could have hacked or bought your personal information from another source. Also, it is unlikely that your bank would request sensitive information like your account number and pin in an email (especially in the same email). Requests for personal account information through email is a red flag that you are being phished for your account details. Whenever you receive such an email, you should call your bank to tell them about the email.
