No idea. As long as they don't post guardian articles I'm not that bothered.

There was a breach in January, although that's the first time we've heard that passwords are on sale. Everyone was forced to change passwords at the time.

Because it got hacked last year and Gav got everyone to change their password.

Although Malcy, ever the trendsetter, used to get hacked every Saturday night about closing time.

One of the hackers used my password for my amazon account and bought themselves a NCFC 18/19 season highlights DVD.

Are you liable for these charges?

@Guthrum as well for this.

1. Depends on the provider, however their entire business model for the paid ones generally revolves around securing passwords. That's basically all they do. If they did it badly and a full breach happens their entire business goes down the pan. I don't know any cyber security people who don't use one, so make of that what you will.

So an article here from Troy Hunt just to make the point in a better way than I have:
https://www.troyhunt.com/password-managers-dont-have-to-be-perfect-they-just-hav

And for you chicers, then you're a bit screwed really. So you make the password a good one.

The best passwords are long. Forget random characters, forget numbers, just long. Four or five words with spaces in is usually pretty damn good and near impossible to brute force. The comic that is often posted about this:



And it'll be way easier to remember.

If you only visit a few sites and don't care about logging on from your phone for example, then you could quite legitimately keep a little pad with your usernames and passwords on.

The alphabet is base 26, or 52 if you count caps, so harder to guess a longer series of words, I think I'm right in saying?

Fair enough, but does a long series of gibberish charavcters (noted somewhere secure) beat a long series of words? Do password guessing programmes start with words or assume nothing?

I'm afraid you'll have to ask someone smarter than dear old footers for a proper reply.

I just use 'password' as it's so obvious they'd never think of using it.

Ah your using jedi mind powers - quality, but we don;t all have that skill.

If someone in the know does reply, can you also answer another query please? Seems to me that a person's primary email address is perhaps the most important thing to keep secure - lose access to this and you really are fcked,. True?
