Security Passwords

[Peanuts20]

No password is uncrackable but it's amazing how some people make it so easy

The worst passwords you could have in 2024 — or any year

Don’t rely on easy-to-remember passwords too much — because all of us tend to think more alike than we’d think.

Like the infamous DELL support desk jockey from years ago, they may have uncovered a bunch of people who are too stupid to be using computers. "qwertyuiop" is another easily guessable password.

I've used a bunch of password generators and databases over the years, Password Repository, NORTON, MicroSoft, 1PassWord, those resident in various browsers from time to time and I'm now using the one Apple supplies with Sequoia, which is built into the OS and is accessible by browsers. One less licence fee to worry about plus the storage is encrypted.

I do wonder about a lot of people who have lost money on Revolut etc. How many of them had 0000 or 9999 for the mobile phone and then a simple password from there?.
