    Change your password to something that uses numbers, upper and lower case letters and one of two special characters... (all together)

    ! @ # $ % for example are special characters.

    The more the better... but obviously more is harder to enter and remember. 8 at a minimul mixing ALL of what I mentioned makes it VERY hard to guess or hack.


    And change them once a month or so.
