A recurring theme in the post remained advice to regularly change your password and avoiding predictable ones — if you fall into either of these categories, change your password right now. Last month, LeakedSource revealed that LinkedIn’s claim of 6.5 million password being jeopardised was quite underestimated. Another situation that should force you to change your password is having a common one for multiple accounts — Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn among other. There are password generators and password keepers like keylogger too, but they can be limiting, expensive and most of times inconvenient. >Also, change the password every month, so that even if a hack leaks it, you rescue it, hopefully before they take control of your account.
