In developing the Women Motorcyclist website, we put up a format which we felt did not offer our visitors everything we were hoping for.

We wanted to provide you with the very "best-of-the best" in up to date news, reviews and other motorcycle related information available and therefore decided on this format.

The new Women Motorcyclist website offers our members the opportunity to be more involved in it's content with our forum and media gallery with member contributed commentary and photos.

We hope you enjoy the new and improved Women Motorcyclist.

Yes, and in fact we encourage you to use the username and password you registered with in the former system.

Unfortunately, because of our interest in protecting your privacy, and the fact that this information is encrypted, we were unable to migrate your login information into our new system.

It will be necessary to re-register using your previous information or any new username and password combination you chose.

Typically this would mean:

using a minimum of 6 characters - the more the better but 8-10 should be an ideal

a mixture of upper and lower case alphabet characters, numbers, and permitted special characters for example -, _, *, $, !, %, although the use of these may be governed by the host settings on shared or virtual hosted, remote servers

do not use easily identifiable passwords for example, birthdays, children's or family names, or words that could be easily associated with you

in fact try not to use real words at all, replace letters with their numeric equal so the word ocean could become 0c34n (yes – I know it is a real word and there are only 5 characters but it is just an example) try 0c34n!c – and no do not now use that either

another way is to think entirely off-the-wall. Think of a favorite novel for example, The Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy, and then take say the first and last letter from each word giving a sequence of letters (as indicated by the underscores): Example 1: t e h s g e t o t e g y this clearly means absolutely nothing but it could still be traced – eventually – by a determined cracker so let us mix it up a bit more: Example 2: T 3 h $ 9 3 t 0 T 3 g Y (again ignore the spaces) but you can now see that it would be a pretty illogical logic that would need to be applied to even come close to cracking that and when the additional security features of the various platforms is then laid over the top of this – we would not want to say it is impossible to crack, but they would take a very long time,

you should regularly change your passwords certainly on critical sites

if you keep a written record of your passwords, always ensure they too are kept secure and safely out of the way of prying eyes

despite the temptation, try to avoid using the same password for all your various access requirements, both at home and at work
