Great guide 10/10, although I'm not to sure about the password generator part but I've never used one so what do I know.

Here are some easy steps that can help you decrease your chance of your account being hacked. This method is 100% safe, so you won't have anything to worry about.

 

 

 

Steps to Creating a Perfect Password

 

1) Find a password generator on the web. Two great ones I have found is PC Tools Password Generator (recommended), and Good Password Generator.

 

 

 

2) When you reach these generators, I'd recommend making your password over 10 characters, but no more than 15. You may use punctuation and digits in your password, but RuneScape passwords are NOT case-sensitive.

 

 

 

3) Once you have your password, open up the Notepad, Wordpad and Word work fine, but I choose Notepad.

 

 

 

4) Paste your password (and bank pin [optional]) on the document, then press "Enter" twice so you have a decent space between your password and the next line.

 

 

 

5) Now if you are on Notepad, type .LOG, .LOG generates every date and time the file is opened, so you can check when you've (or someone else) has reached the file.

 

 

 

6) Now don't go save the file into My Documents, as that would be utterly foolish, and easy to access for anyone who wants your password, such as a friend or a hacker.

 

 

 

7) Go to "My Computer", then to "C:", then choose a folder to save your password in. You could go to "WINDOWS", "Program Files", or another child folder.

 

 

 

8) Now we need to save the password as something that isn't easily recognizable to an inexperienced hacker. You could go with a random thing like "34234.txt", or a common expected name, similar to the one I choose of (settings.ini.txt), or similar, use your creativity on this one.

 

 

 

9) Now if you want your password in writing, in real life, then there are several methods you can use. Simply, you can just write it on a small piece of paper and hide it, this isn't too safe but it can be if you have a deceptive hiding spot. You can write it on the back of a paper, such as a letter or a school worksheet. Or, a very tricky method, write the password on a piece of paper, fold the paper in half so the password is not visible, and tape it to the bottom side of the platform your computer is on on your desk, this way you know where it is, its easy to find for you, and a completely random spot.

 

 

 

10) Now don't go around being stupid, don't download anything you don't download anything you don't trust, especially RuneScape programs like macros (definitely don't), etc. Never give out your password, and don't use your RuneScape password on other sites.

 

 

 

Now you should have a great and hard-to-find password.

 

 

 

Thanks for reading and feedback appreciated.

 

 

 

a little problem i read in ur guide , if u have such program like limewire etc ppl can just type in runescape or pass etc on files and all the files on your computer will show up + the pass may be there

Then it's their own fault if they decide to share all their files...

 

I personally would never use limewire: fake files, spy&adware, trojans, low speed, ...

 

I prefer torrents: fast, reliable and safe :)

VERY NICE 8/10

 

 

 

ikeep my pass and stoff on my comp, but its not very safe as even if you make i seem jus a random file, people might look, and BAM.

 

 

 

One thing,is in a notepad, write alotof random stuff, then skip like 50 lines, oruntil you can't see the text from thetop. Then write the info. Also, writing it backwords, but making it seem like a sentence also works, which i also do.

Lets see you make a worthwhile guide

Why write down your password anywhere? I just change mine every month or so without downloading anything so no chance of keyloggers.
