      I thought passw0rd was secure, though 😉

      You have to add and ! at the end to make it super secure. 😛

          It is mind-boggling that in this day & age people still use these passwords. Thankfully, software vendors are starting to include password "blacklists" of prohibited words & variations of words.

            That just means people are coming up with creative alternatives for the same simple passwords.

              Just to mess with the hackers, some of my passwords now include phrases... for instance... My Yahoo email password is "I hate facebook 2013!"

              *runs off to change Yahoo password.

                  It's OKAY change "princess" to "Pr1^c3S$" and you'll be good for another 30 minutes.

                        FYI "Pr1^c3S$" would take a whopping 3 days to crack....

                            More than enough time to come up with a new password... like ':PR!n<3$$'

                                If you actually leave the single quotes, sure, secure password to brute force.... otherwise 50 days

                                  What is irritating about single quotes is the number of commercial systems that strip them off without notification.
