I am going to switch to 'unbreakable'



Are you doing enough to protect your business by having secure passwords? And do you have different passwords that can't easily be traced?
Many people use the same password for everything - from their private work accounts, containing a plethora of confidential details, through to their own personal Facebook or social networking account.
Analysis of the 32 million passwords exposed last month in the breach of social media application developer RockYou - who's applications can be used on Facebook and Myspace - provides further proof that consumers routinely use easy-to-guess login credentials.
Sensitive login credentials - stored in plain text - were left exposed because of a SQL injection bug in RockYou's website. RockYou admitted the breach, which applied to user password and email addresses for the widgits it developed, and pledged to improve security in order to safeguard against future problems, Are you password protected? | GDS Publishing

I usually use the same password.....for most sites, only a few are different...I might not remember the unbreakable password lol

I use the same password, but in this case it isnt a case of on how many sites you use the password, its how good the password is that counts.

You surely can use some combinations which is easy to remember. - like your date of birth repeated 3 or 4 times with alphabets for the month

[picinaRefadia]

I'll try that

The issue with many computer program sites is that many NOW require combinations of 6 to 8 or 8 to 14 characters with Capitols, Numbers and some even require Characters such as Symbols.. With multiple levels of access to get to some sites you are often not allowed to use even a close ( combination ) of the variation from your original code to log in further down. This requires a totally new combination.

When you must access up from 12 to 23 sites it can be quite annoying.. So in all I have found the best combination has been the magic 8 number count to work with all sorts of options that do not come close to each other but all have similar ideas..

Once you start with a pattern, it is best to stay with it, but here were examples from a security company that I read up from..

First letters of a pet name such as your dog being Rover use only a portion = Rove
Then use a portion of a number you can remember such as your address / DL number or Social security number.. You can use any portion so no need to use the starting numbers as that can be a bad idea.. Using them backwards maybe a good idea as well... Lets use a DL ( Driver License number as example ).. California # N2297414 ( this is example DL number from random pick ) = number picked by me for this purpose = 4147

Password Made for = Rove4147 ( this should show as Strong ) and meet most requirements. If you require a special Character, add which ever you love best.. Any of the !@#$%^&*()....

Try to change the sequence a little.

Gotcha

hmm I had a question but I think I know the answer already :P

the root of mine is actually on there. Wow, my PW sucks.

Although, I've been changing up from that. John knew that one, so I have a bunch of different ones now- all sorts of letters, numbers, characters... fun stuff.

My brother is horrible with passwords. He'll just randomly push keys. It drives me batty when he tries to tell me his PW to get on his computer.

Truth be known, your brothers random is the best to reach password character limits as well ( what ever it maybe ), but the combo I gave below is probably the best you can build from if you have memory problems.. The stronger the encryption the better. Of course if you can't remember it and retrieve it, its of no use to you..

Your combo is too common. The first 7 characters follows the keyboard sequence - lol ok add them at random

[tipokotap]

my password has 10 characters and only 3 are numbers lol


I need a wayy better password

[QHdy5Z3A]

At home yes I do use the same password, it's not something anyone could really figure out, but yeah, if they got it once, I'm screwed.....but at work OH MY GOD, I'm SO sick of all the passwords expiring at different times...Hey I aint getting younger and on Monday morning if I've drank all weekend and I have to come up with a password with one capitol, one special character, one number one small letter........if I remember it after doing so....it's a miracle......

[JessiPollo]

all of my work/home passwords contain letters, numbers, and special characters

[Vomekayafboke]

I need to add special characters to mine

[Nabeqiv]

lol, ihatemylife

mine is simple

[Hervams]

lol..

[attractiveweb]

That's hilarious, one of my old passwords is on their in the normal range.

[Grapappytek]

Better get changing all my passwords, since they are up on the image
