In this world of technology, I can not emphasize how important it is to keep your passwords safe from online hackers, data thieves, etc. It seems like there have been a lot of security breaches lately. If these people can hack into big corporations like Target, eBay, JPMorgan Chase, just to name a few. Who knows they can hack into yours also? We have to make sure we choose a password that we feel safe with and easily remember.
The only problem with that, is choosing a password. Sometimes you have to make up a password to access a password program, which can be very frustrating and annoying.
We would like to have it easily accessible by storing it in our smartphones app such as ‘Notes’ or in your wallet which really isn’t too safe. I’m guilty of doing this. Oops! I just gave awa
y my secret. [ I better start erasing my passwords right away]. But seriously, I like to change my passwords at least every two or three months. Which can be very humbug.
Like they say in choosing a password not to create one that is so obvious like your birthdate, house address or my favorite, “Ihatepasswords!” Before you decide on whether or not you should use a password program ask yourself, ‘is it a want or a need?’
