Safe Passwords..Harder to create than you think!

The unthinkable act may have already happened to you?  Did you account get hacked?  Someone hacked my online gaming account, but I was able to report them and they were able to recover the account and all my games.

Passwords are required for all accounts online.  Did you ever think that you were creative and would never get hacked?  Well, don't think you are alone.  Many people create single level passwords and they get hacked every single day.  Melanie Pinola wrote an article in 2014 titled "Your Clever Password Tricks aren't protecting you from Today's Hackers". The hackers today have developed algorithms and unique software programming to pick out patterns and unique characteristics of passwords.  Something that would take a million years to crack can take less than one spring season to fully infiltrate your life.

I agree with the article that you should always have a two level coded password system to gain access to all accounts.  Secondly, you should always have different passwords to all your accounts.  Finally, you should try out 1Password which is a site that provides different coded passwords for you that will be safer than anyone that you can create on your own.
