Google recommendations for passwords. Note the first thing to avoid.

How safe is your password?

The first step in protecting your online privacy is creating a safe password - i.e. one that a computer program or persistent individual won't easily be able to guess in a short period of time. To help you choose a secure password, we've created a feature that lets you know visually how safe your password is as soon as you create it.

Tips for creating a secure password:

Include punctuation marks and/or numbers. Mix capital and lowercase letters. Include similar looking substitutions, such as the number zero for the letter 'O' or '$' for the letter 'S'. Create a unique acronym. Include phonetic replacements, such as 'Luv 2 Laf' for 'Love to Laugh'. Things to avoid: Don't reuse passwords for multiple important accounts, such as Gmail and online banking. Don't use a password that is listed as an example of how to pick a good password. Don't use a password that contains personal information (name, birth date, etc.) Don't use words or acronyms that can be found in a dictionary. Don't use keyboard patterns (asdf) or sequential numbers (1234). Don't make your password all numbers, uppercase letters or lowercase letters. Don't use repeating characters (aa11). Tips for keeping your password secure: Never tell your password to anyone (this includes significant others, roommates, parrots, etc.). Never write your password down. Never send your password by email. Periodically test your current password and change it to a new one.

Believing that few bangs and dollars make your password strong is like believing that hackers guess you password by trying to type them (refer Swordfish). Explain in FAQs that most sites give unrealistic password strength estimates. Including punctuation doesn't automatically make ones password strong. To help you protect you passwords, we included realistic estimator (describe attack vector).
