Do you have the same password for everything you use? This is not good! If someone gets your password they can access everything you can. Keep yourself secure by making good passwords and keeping them safe.

You sound like a computer geek and sound BRITISH! ^.^

You are a clever person ^.^

I strongly advise against the bogus "password checker" you've provided on the video info box.

Their password checking methods are too stupidly mediocre on checking the strength like...

'bill gates likes to s*** c*** and plays with little boys' and then been marked as "Weak" from their website.

And... it's not VERY recommended to input the password you want to test on the website, anyway.

The password checking isn't mediocre, it tests on a mixture of capitals and numbers. What you type in is dictionary words, I mean yeah no-one will guess it but who has that long a password anyway?

Also, its Microsoft, you think they will steal your password? its a trusted domain.

[mobilephone2003]

Sorry I mean capitals, lower case, numbers and symbols.

[Cleric775]

I...don't think that anyone will ever guess that password, especially being that long...

(Not that I'm suggesting I use passwords like that!)

Anything beyond 9 characters using just lower-case letters, it's very very time-consuming.

My last opinion on this video stands as it is.

what I'm trying to say is that a password of "pA5sW0rD" is more secure than "password". Using sentences is not suggested as it can easily be forgotten.

Another idea is to use a browser-only (JavaScript) tool such as "Calculated Passwords" (Google for it). It allows you to generate strong passwords when you need them without the maintenance burden of local software, datafiles that keep your passwords, or logging in to a password management site.
