New Passwords Once in a While
Hey guys, we've been making some under-the-hood changes to our website lately that you probably won't notice!
One change you will notice very soon is that the site is going to begin having all users change our passwords once in a while.
So don't be alarmed, just follow the password-changing guidelines and make yourself a new password. (New passwords must: be at least 7 digits long and contain at least 1 capital letter and 1 numeral.)
Changing passwords USED TO be a cause for concern for me, as a guy who has to keep up with a lot of user names and passwords for my work. I USED TO devote a lot of effort to keeping track of them all. (Using the same password everywhere, btw, is very dangerous!)
I say "USED TO" because I heard a major security expert recommend something called LastPass. Because I'm such a geek, LastPass has seriously changed my life for the better!
Here's why LastPass is awesome:
- I only have to remember one password!
- It auto-learns my passwords, and remembers them so I don't have to!
- It auto-enters my passwords on almost ever web site I use!
- It is cheap! LastPass lets you use it for free, or $12/year for the 'premium' service
- It runs everywhere! It runs on Windows, Macs, Android, iPhone, iPad etc
- It is super-secure
- It auto-generates secure passwords for me
(more details from a professional writer)
I hope you give LastPass a try, as it has made my life much easier, and it can do the same for you.
I've pretty much forced my family members to begin using it, and lots of people at my office, too, all with no complaints! No, LastPass isn't paying me to say all this!
