Unsafe Passwords

 In today's technical society we use passwords on a daily basis. We sign in with a different password to our computer log-on, our email, sites, and even our computer literacy class. According to finance markets, most people have at least 22 different password protected accounts. This makes it impossible to remember every password. This is why most people only use one password for everythng. Along with only choosing to use one password, it is normally a very common password that can be easily hacked. According to this article, banking is most dangerous area to use common passwords. The best idea for a password should come from a line of a song. It would include the first letter of each word and have some numbers which would satisfy most site requirements for password selection. Knowing this information will certainly affect my future password selection.
