Long gone are the days when you can use the word password as
your password. In fact they are now
suggesting that we use 12 characters to keep our things safe, using symbols and
numbers and caps. As we are moving
toward a more paperless society I think that there are going to be more and
more crooks out there trying to steal our passwords and trying to get into our
accounts. I heard on the national news
this morning that the big email guys google and yahoo are now working on making
it more difficult for hackers to read your emails. That is all well and good but isn’t that a
little too little a little too late? I
am sick and tired of having to change my passwords then get an email from the company
that I just changed it to say we are sorry but we have been compromised, this
has happened at least 3x in the past year.
Are there any solutions? Do you have any tricks to make these 12 digit
passwords more memorable?
