Security Tip

A simple idea.
Type your most commonly used password into your favorite search window on your machine. See if you can find instances of your password on your computer. See if your password appears in your emails. Now imagine what would happen if someone were to find out that password. Think of all the places you use that password and the numbers of people who might have access to that password.

It might be time to change your password. Especially at your bank.

It might be time to download a bit of password-remembering software like KeyPass.

This post is brought to you by a hard lesson recently learned by Twitter.
