ok, I must have to add this... you could be the most ignorant person of the ability of hackers and hacked. but that does not make you stupid,dumb,etc. people, in my theory, are just tryin to be able to remember their password by havin the CHR's next to each other or easily rememberable, NOT unique to that person.
also how easy is it to have an omnibigious password for the 12+ accounts that you have to remember on the internet,work,and your home/Laptop?
and having to change each one and have them all be unprecedented?
not easily done when the suggested timeline of a PW should not exceed 1 week in our day and age. now calling people that use these passwords on the Top20 doesn't necessarily make you "Dumb" for using such a PW.(Kasno,Iboomer,etc.)
Now the people that are/want to crack into anyone of your accounts is going to have either a Possible PW list(Which is expenential if you just goto reference.comand add it to a .txt file) or a sniffer. it is hard as holy heyzues to hide even the most complex of PW's from people that have already implanted a sniffer on your drive (Because you/your AV was unable to recognize a virii when you DL's it from a P2P or a nonauthenticated file from an uncertified site).
Wow! Sorry for my rant!
Now, that being said. if you have a password that isnt a "real" word, Case sensitive, alpha AND.....yes AND Numeric, and you DONT POST-IT to you monitor (You know who you are), and dont have it posted in a "crackable" account on the net or your server, you should be safer not changing said PW's.
ok my rant is done.... please critique this and tell me my flaws in all these statements. 1 last thing... if you have a more security sensitive job that makes you more accessible. js have a great day bein just a lil bit more informed via me takin 5 mins out of my day.
TY
