<blockquote>Despite increased awareness about the need for secure passwords, internet users are still leaving themselves vulnerable to hackers by choosing easy to guess subjects such as their cat or partner's name.</blockquote>I honestly hope you aren't one of these people? Do you want to get ripped off???

<blockquote>The favourites are nicknames (21 per cent), birthdays and anniversaries (15 per cent), pet names (15 per cent), family members' names (14 per cent) and memorable dates such as the Battle of Hastings and England's World Cup victory (seven per cent). Thankfully very few people (two per cent) use 'password' as their password.</blockquote>Nowadays, you might have a handful of passwords, and it's tough to keep them straight. I highly advise you DO NOT use the same password for the same sites. And you should change your passwords contstantly, perhaps every few months.<div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div>
