Password crackers are morons who devote their spare time, to cracking passwords on forums and websites
It makes their day when they crack a password, because then their 'fun' begins!
How would you like it, if you logged in tomorrow, to find that all your posts were erased and that instead, a whole host of new posts that you had nothing to do with now displayed?
You'd be pretty gutted wouldn't you?
Password crackers use 'DICTIONARIES' to plough through all possible combinations of words to infiltrate your password - so if you chose "ilovechelsea" you stand no chance AT ALL!! that password is an example of the world's EASIEST password to crack
In fact there are five degrees of password strength
'Unsafe'
'Not recommendable'
'Relatively safe'
'Safe'
'Very safe'
"Tips for selecting a secure password":
The password must be at least 6 characters in length and can be a maximum of 32 characters in length (a character is a letter, number, mark or symbol).
The password should be at least 4 characters long and should contain at least 2 other characters such as numbers or symbols.
Special foreign language characters such as the german umlaut and spaces (blanks) are not recommended.
Use neither your user-name or your real name.
Do not use standard keyboard rows such as the \"qwerty\" row.
The password should not contain popular or common phrases such as those found in books, poems. Also avoid using popular media slogans from radio and tv.
Use a combination of upper and lowercased letters.
Choose a password that you don't have to write down in order to remember it.
