Mark’s idea of a base password for each year really makes a lot of sense.

Wow, that is certainly a horrible situation. Good to have a wake up call like that sometimes. I hope that never happens to one of my accounts!

We do not hear very often of people we know that get hacked. I feel like I know you Josh because I have followed your blog for quite a while. Which is an interesting thought. That would make you a celebrity because one of your fans feels like they know you even though you have not a clue who I am….

Sorry to hear about your problems Josh. Anybody using Firefox might like to check out the free plug-in from LastPass.com which provides a lot of password security. I’ve been using it for some weeks now and have come to rely upon it.

This should be a wake up call to everybody. I’m so glad I have RoboForm already! I actually love the RoboForm software myself. I use it all of the time and it takes all of the menial everyday tasks that I have to perform on my computer daily and shortens them extremely! What once took me fifteen minutes to complete now takes me only one second because RoboForm does the same task with just one click. In fact I wrote a Report about a lot of RoboForm’s capabilities for use that aren’t even touched on in the User’s Manual for RoboForm. You can get that Report here:

There is also a FREE version of RoboForm that you can download on this web page, just to test the RoboForm software out for yourself! I highly recommend it!
