I would like to comment on passwords security
Hi Guys
As I have had lots of help on W10, and although I acknowledge that most of you will have LOTS more pc experience than me, I feel sure others with less experience MAY benefit from what I think about password security.
Correct me if I am wrong, but there are a few main comments and tips about passwords.
1- use upper and lower case, and some sites insist on a + or % or * as well.
2- the text book tells us to have a different one for each site
3- they also say, never write them down
4- never us a 1234 or 1066 etc, in other words, very obvious one that intruders might gues.
5-scammers or virus senders use a "shotgun affect" when guessing emails like john100@hotmail and repeat it with change of no, theory being, it will find at least one person, which is all they need.
My comments to the above are
1- makes sense, but using that method with different sites-wow
2- so if you visit 20 sites, maybe more, you have to remember them.
3- as we are told not to write them down, best of luck-
4- totally agree
5- true
Solution >>>remember, you are trying to create a p/w the "baddies" can't associate to you or guess, and it must be one (yes, I only use 1) so you think of a phrase, or happening you will always remember.
I met my wife in London in 1966, then you use first letter of each word >> immwiLi1966

As you can all imagine, the possible choice is endless and as we all know, even if we make it more complicated, using it each day, it becomes imbedded in you mind. I welcome comments
