Know what "Love, 123456, password, your social security number, letmein" are?  They are baby food for hackers to gain entry into your world of, well, everything you hold near and dear. 

Want to make it a tad more challenging for them? Add one capital letter, special characters and an asterisk so, for example, if 12345678  is changed to ">@#$%^&* it would take your reasonably adept hacker 2.1 centuries to gain access, instead of a mere 2.4 days."

Which is the same amount of time it would take me to remember it.

I am told, that if I do a daily crossword puzzle and/or study a foreign language, I will increase my capacity to remember… something. That, I am here to tell you, would be encouraging to me if my foreign language skills enabled me to converse with someone over 3 years of age. As for the crossword puzzle, if stuck, I cheat.

What to do? Perhaps a Sarah Palin and inscribe this hieroglyphic password on your palm. If you bathe daily and don't perspire I guess that would work. Second thought, tattoo. As long as you are not kidnapped, or caught on tape waving your hands at something or other, you might be secure in the knowledge that you won't forget it, and are, possibly, not hackable.

So choose your password carefully. If your identity is, so very sad, stolen wouldn't it be somewhat satisfying to you if the password you had come up with was a really, down and dirty, nasty expletive?
