Are you using irresponsible passwords?

 Easy-to-recall codes, passwords, etc. are way too easy for other people to guess. The most popular passwords are ones like "123456" or "password" or "admin". But, these are some of the first things people will guess when trying to gain access.

Approximately 10% of pin numbers are just "1234". Wow, that's easy, isn't it?

What do you do? Go big and go r4nd0m.

Longer passwords that are more unique:

• At least one capital letter
• At least one lower-case letter
• At least one symbol
• At least one number

When you’re searching to create a password, try to make it appear easy to remember for yourself, but impossible for a stranger to figure out, even if they looked at your profile for personally-identifiable information. Another key is to avoid putting ANY personal detail in any of your passwords.
Here are some example passwords that would be excellent to use:

• Marc#4564 (according to How Secure Is My Password, it would take 12 years to crack)
• GenieRelease#7 (32 billion years)
• JokerMan*777 (5 million years)

As you can see, the more unique your password is, the better chances you are at keeping your data safe for many years!

Note: Don't bother repeating your password either. Reusing a password for sensitive accounts can make it easy to access your information, because once one account is hacked, the attacker can go and pilfer through other accounts for sensitive information.
