What must I do to protect my password for more??

My Yahoo! ID just got phised and hacked but I got my ID back and changed my password already. The problem is the phiser/hacker sent an email that looked like from Yahoo! management and I was so stupid that I gave my full name, (old) password, birthday, and country. I am still worried that this person might change my password again in the future as I have given the details that enable others to change it.

    Use a password that has numbers and letters, capitals and lower case letters, and symbols if possible. Try and avoid using words, for example if you want your password to be password, try making it Pas!swOR?d. A little longer to type, but you won't have to worry about someone guessing it.

    add spaces to it and numbers and don't use anything related to the infomation u 'gave' to the hacker/phisher.
