How to Make Your Password Secure From Hacking

April 10th, 2010

Creating and remembering online passwords can be a nuisance. In a recent Consumer Reports survey, Americans rated passwords and PINs a 6.1 on the annoyance scale, with 10.0 being most annoying. (For some reason, women found them more annoying than men by a large margin.) Here at our Yonkers, NY headquarters, the IT department reports that eighty percent of their work involves resetting forgotten or expired passwords.

That’s no excuse, however, for creating a feeble one. Passwords are security tools after all, used to protect everything from the social data on your Facebook page to the money in your bank account. If you’re one of the many people who list “123456”, “password”, or any other cipher so simple it could probably be hacked by a chimpanzee, consider this your intervention. » Read more: How to Make Your Password Secure From Hacking
