One of the main tips for identifying a secure password made available by Panda Security concerns the custom replacement system. Instead of using the “usual” methods (4 for A or $ for S etc.) it is advisable to create your own substitution system, with single matches. It is advisable avoid capitalization in a predictable way (at the beginning or at the end of words). This way, using custom substitutions and uppercase substitutions in place of lowercase will be much more effective.
