Finally got around to changing it yesterday (been years since I used it) and I changed it to something that came up as "strong" meaning it will be difficult to hack.

Doesn't mean it's fool proof, but it makes them work for it, and possibly give up on it.



I suggest various capitals, numbers and symbols like these !@#$%^&* mixed in/throughout.

With Lastpass, you create one and only one really secure password that you can remember (or write it down and put it in your wallet), and then let the software create random, maximum length and complexity passwords (that you will never have to remember) for each of your website accounts. That way if one of your passwords is compromised, it won't work on other sites, since they're different for each one.
