NEW YORK — There are some simple ways to come up with a good password, now that Twitter is asking all users to change theirs. Your new password should be complex — nothing easily guessed, such as common words in the dictionary. Even if hackers get your password, they can’t do much unless they have your phone, too. Twitter discovered a bug that stored passwords in plain text. Though Twitter says there’s no indication anyone stole or misused those passwords, the company recommends a change as a precaution.
