SOBERING REMINDERS

So, after looking at these 25 Worst Passwords, did you recognize any of them? Are you using any of them? Today is a great opportunity to make sure we are all safe. We all need to use passwords that are strong and difficult to crack.

Still the question remains, how do I remember them all? Some people have a password system that combines dates with a specific code related to the site. My wife and I keep our passwords secure in an app called aWallet Cloud. It costs a few dollars to get started and allows you to securely save the passwords into a variety of categories. These could include banking, Government agencies, memberships, etc. The app is password protected also.

I trust all of you are well aware of the need for online security so I hope these reminders will protect you through 2017. Got any thoughts? Any suggestions? Any scary stories that might sober all of us up? Please leave a comment below.
