A better approach is to use a pass phrase such as:
23madrosesATE8rocks
It’s a nonsense phrase that’s easy to memorize because it’s silly but impossible for a heuristic generator to guess. It includes upper and lowercase and numbers, meeting most password requirements.
Well, I use that approach ( a combination of numbers/caps/phrases) with all my various passwords, but was under the impression that anything I conjured up could be grabbed by the “hack”.
Am I wrong?
I am old enough to remember life before the internet. Got along without it before I met it, and could get along without it now.
If it comes to that, of course. But think of the hit on the economy?
My suspicious mind does wander into “tin-foil fashion accessories” from time to time, and is now is wondering if this is just the preamble to a .gov excuse to take it all over.
I really don’t care at this point. They will ultimately fail, for they forget that we are not as stupid as they think, and actually can find myriad creative ways around them, if we are clever and quiet.
