The article “Forgot Your Password?” May be Weakest Link by Bob Thompson presents a compelling case for just how easy it can be for rip-off artists to find your passwords in social networking profiles.
As an experiment, Herbert Thompson, chief security strategist of People Security, recently asked a few friends for permission to “hack” into their bank accounts. Using only information gathered from Web sites, Thompson found his way in within minutes.
The best passwords are long passwords that use a combination of numerals and upper- and lower-case letters. I keep track of all my passwords using KeePass, a free password-protected software program that I love. A similar program, Roboform, which isn’t free, not only keeps track of passwords but automatically fills in online forms with just one click.
Yes! I completely agree the best kind of password is a combination of numbers and letters both upper and lower case. It is so easy today for people to hack into your personal account information and you want to prevent this at all costs! I never have heard of KeePass but plan to look into it. I like take advantage of free software!
