Your Passwords are under attack. Sorry for the fearmongering

Sorry to raise the password problem, but I see so many poor ones. At least add an uppercase letter to the end of every password you use to harden it. It is a long term project, just keep records and stay organized. Never just throw a password together.
Good luck.

DO


DON'T
  • Use the same password for multiple accounts
  • Use a dictionary word as a password
  • Use standard substitutions to create passwords
  • Use a short password no matter how weird
