One thing I might suggest, if you are as security conscious as I am, is to chnge your pw occasionally, and I did that not too long ago...It’s a process, and it involves a series of e-mails and codes....but it’s easy enough to do. But they make every effort to be sure it’s you. It’s the same with my bank...they require it every 3 months.

I also use a computer generated pw...they are a combo of letters, numbers, low and upper case. Really hard to break, but I suppose anything is possible...

But unfortunately I have to write it in my little black book which I keep in a secure place. You can also encrypt your password lists and put them on a thumb drive, or there are a number of PW keepers, that require another pw to open. I have one of these as well.

I do all of that.

I wish I had time to crack convenient, secure biometric security. Going forward, I think that’s the answer.

I agree its a tough problem to crack. I just object to MSFT knowing every time I’ve logged into my computer.

What I didn’t experiment with was whether I could have logged into my PC even if the network cable was pulled out.
