Passwords – you got to love them!

When was the last time you changed a password? What is the most complicated password that you use? How many different passwords do you have? Why do I ask? Well, to make you think about passwords and maybe to make you feel guilty that you need to change some of the ones that you use regularly.

Password ‘hygiene’ is important – You should not go too long without changing them and you should not share them. They form a vital layer of online defence for you and your family. Our security response guys have posted an interesting blog on passwords. Furthermore, they have setup a quick one minute survey to establish just how your password hygiene compares to that of others. Go on and take the survey, the results from all of us I am sure will be interesting. Let’s hope that we are saved from the odour of an online community that does not take password hygiene seriously!
