Thanks for the link ;
Changing PASSWORDS should be a regular habit whether it’s an EMAIL account or the online access page of your BANK.
PS: My email PASSword is 44 Characters long :smile:

:hushed: Thanks for your post!

So easy to hack it :smile:

Thanks! Already changed it :slight_smile:

:slight_smile: There is no “100%” solution for sure but it’s best to do what you can.

  • Use characters that can only be generated with “ALT” key (for example, you hit 4 keys to create the characters “®” (ALT + 0,1,7,4), “¥”(ALT + 0, 1, 6, 5)

  • Use lowercase + uppercase letters

  • Make it 40 - 45 char long

  • IF YOU CAN REMEMBER your PassWord, then your PASSWORD is USELESS! (EASY TO HACK)

For password generation, a good tool is https://strongpasswordgenerator.com/ :slight_smile:

A small note: Having a [insert your number here] chars password long, with all symbols and what not is useless if the storage system stores them in a way that can easily be retrieved back.
