I think this may be ping worthy. . . the Starbucks App is not secure if you use a weak password. Hackers can break into your Starbucks account using their own computer or mobile phone and then add gift cards in their name to drain your bank account, charging up your linked credit card, or linked PayPal Account. . . all before you know about it. These crooks gain your information from WIFI transaction data at Starbucks and then go-to-town with your account after they crack your password. Merely blocking gift cards is insufficient, because once they are in your account, they can activate gift cards. Make sure you use a complex password using upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols on your Starbucks account to keep them out. . . PING!

I like to use randomly generated passwords.
A good example is this one:
kA7&)~^CxqYh(~Vv
Now that might seem hard to remember but it's actually easy if you write out a coded phrase that allows you to piece the password together and store it in the cloud where you can access through a mobile device.
For instance, this is how I would write out the password above...
korean APPLE 7 & ) ~ ^ COFFEE xbox queen YELP hulu ( ~ VISA visa
Now nobody but me would be able to piece together the password from that.
