No apology required, IMHO. Maybe I need to make a stronger password for my email accounts, considering someone in our group was hacked. I have several accounts that I use a "very strong" password to get in, like PayPal and my bank accounts, but I never really paid much attention to making a stronger one for my email. My personal thanks for the suggestion. Stanley

Hello All, I apologize for cross posting this but I feel that this message is important enough that everyone should be made aware of its content. Please feel free to forward to whomever you wish. There have been a rash of people having their Yahoo, Hotmail and AOL e-mail addresses hacked and used to send out SPAM. The easiest and fastest way to prevent or recover from this is to change your e-mail password. This site - http://howsecureismypassword.net/ - is a good reference tool for comparing passwords - ie Password A is this strong and password B is this strong. The site doesn't retain your password so it is safe to use. General rule of thumb: if it isn't 8 characters, it isn't long enough. 10 is better. Both capital and lowercase letters should be used - and at least one symbol - ie !...@#$%^&*()_-=+ makes things a lot better. I use a password Vault called LastPass - http://lastpass.com/ - with an extremely strong password to get into the Vault. Lastpass is free for the basic version and usable across all major web browsers. I highly recommend it. You can also use it generate random passwords for a site when you visit it or to change your password on an existing site. -Joey Kelley, JoeyFixesComputers.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
