Your Password123 is too Weak

5/5/2015

You may not realize this but your password may be easily hacked.

Some commonly used passwords are your name with a number at the end, your child's name followed by their date of birth, or something simple like 'Password123'.

Click Here for a list of commonly used passwords

My suggestion for a password that is very difficult to hack but easy for you to remember is a string of unrelated words with a symbol and number mixed in.

Some examples:
Random Names:
  • Obama+Arnold89
  • Jessica1929Nicole!

Even more secure is a random sentence:
  • SimilarToys%Push2House

Choose a combination that you can easily remember but hard to crack.

Also take advantage of two step authentication, here is a quick video on Google's two step security:
