Dam, my password got changed again. I think someone hacked me.
Just wanna make sure that you guys have your password's secure.
Did the hacker do anything bad or something like that?

Well, I'm not sure but my password is porcupine9 and I just found out that it isnt that secure. It was rated as being weak. What do you think?

Linky, I came across the ratings of passwords when I signed up for a hotmail account. It rates your password as you enter it. They recommend that you use an acronym or perhaps make something up like I5ave$98@bi-lo
That is a strong password

They mostly rank it by the number of characters

I played around with it for a while, and it seems that its not so important how many characters as much as it is the way they are combined. A strong password requires a mix. So an old phone number, for example is too sequential and won't cut it. But if you add a name like 41(pimp)3428_ that would strengthen it.

Mine is pretty impossible to get even with a program that displays your pass out hehe. Unless if it can copy. Cause mine is ALL codes like ┐¢§¿«»

Haha div you crazy. Mine's rated as weak, but it doesn't matter. It's not relative to me in any way.... actually it is, but no one would b able to guess it. Therefore, I am only afraid of password HAXXXXORZZZZ
