It kills me that people still use these AWFUL passwords. Why not just max out your credit card and throw the cash out the window of your speeding car?!

The 200 Most Common Passwords

Please read their recommendations!  I wholeheartedly support them.

Best trick I know – a password pattern. For example,

27_ _ _ _ _5#&%

So my password for Gmail is  27gMail5#&%

     my password for Amazon is 27aMazo5#&%

    my password for Dropbox is 27dRopb5#&%

Each password is unique to the place you’re using it.  If a hacker gets your Amazon password, they can’t access Dropbox.

The pattern fits 98% of all password requirements: 10 characters, at least 1 upper case, at least 1 number, at least 1 special character, no repeating character.  Yes, there will be a few places the pattern won’t work. But not often. Then your Password Keeper will help you out.

But the pattern is easy for you to remember!
