Passwords are like toothbrushes. Don't let any one else use it and change it every six months.

These days, it should be changed each month, 30 characters long and stored in a password manager.

Something weird that’s going on these days is the two factor authentication. I have do it for relatively minor accounts (is someone going to hack my account and pay my power bill or order new prescriptions?) but not for shopping sites, bank account, credit cards, etc.

If it can be programmed, it can be hacked. If you don’t want to lose your info, your money, you identity, stay waaaaaayyyy off the internet for as long as you can. It’s been obvious for some time why governments want all personal info on the internet, so it can be altered and stolen.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. My passwords are NOT “probably “ and “screwed”. Where do they get these nuts?

I posted the following on another thread, but it bears repeating:

While I am sure there are vulnerabilities, not all vulnerabilities are easily exploited. They may require certain uncommon settings to be set, or certain online behavior. Besides that, not every vulnerability leads to the same payoff. A vulnerability that causes a browser to crash at will, for instance, is not as serious as one that compromises the password manager.

The ‘bigger companies’ are the biggest crooks, especially on Wall Street.
