Oh ye of little faith

How can you NOT trust someone on the ‘net?

Next thing you know, you will not help out any Nigerians.

Are you a RACIST?

It does sound a bit like a phishing scam, doesn’t it?

DashLane is a keeper, too! It generates my strong passwords.

I’ve been using DashLane for about 5 years. It tells me when there’s a breach that I need to worry about and tells me which passwords I need to change.

I love it!

Way back; when computers were made of rocks; not silicon; I had a login program running on a time shared computer, displayed on a dumb terminal.

When any key was pressed, the date, time and logo would appear on the screen and ask for your password.

There were 86,400 possibilities and those were the odds of ever having the same password twice. (Actually less than that considering the time of day you logged in.)

The password was 6 characters, determined by the TIME displayed in Hr:Mn:sc format, down shifted to the top row of letters on the keyboard...

1234567890 = qwertyuiop respectively

08:13:46 would be piqery

“...So; I log into their site and give them my password to see kf it’s be stolen??...”

You didn’t read the article or the link to search. Of course they are not asking you to display your password. LOL. You enter your email address. ;)
