Martha > Be sure to make the new password hard to guess! No, just make it free of dictionary words. It should be a mix of totally unpredictable alpha and numeric characters. People on TV constantly talk about alpha passwords being used by government people. If you use plain language and might be of interest to hackers, EXPECT to be hacked. They don't guess, they use programs that search using a dictionary search. DO NOT USE PLAIN TEXT passwords!!! Hi: What is a password anyway? Seems to me that all the secure accounts I use will NOT allow more than 3/4 password attempts before cutting you off. Also seems it would not take much of a password to survive 3/4 attempts. What say? Bye Emile **************Looking for simple solutions to your real-life financial challenges? Check out WalletPop for the latest news and information, tips and calculators.
