Strong Passwords

Passwords!  We all hate them and we all struggle to think of strong... ones.  But, passwords are used to protect your security and privacy and need to be complex, unique and random.

The only real option is to use a password manager, ideally a good one that syncs across your devices so you always have your passwords with you.  Some people might argue that having all your passwords stored this way is a risk and that's true, there is a small risk, but not as much risk as you using the same password for everything, everywhere!

Let's face it, your password of 'Smith67' for your accounts is pretty lame and so easy to break it's laughable.  (Yes, I'm laughing at you if that's your password!)

So, use a password manager and forget about using those rubbish passwords.  You'll just need to remember one really strong password and make it a good one.

I use lastpass and am very happy with it.  It's not perfect and it has hd a couple of security issues, but none that have broken the passwords that it is designed to protect, so that's fine.

So start using a password manager today and make your security stronger, you'll thank me one day!
