Is there anyone out there that remembers the game password? It’s when you try to get your partner to guess the Password by giving one word clues. The game is a lot of fun, and though we aren’t going to play it right now, it goes with this blog.The same thing happens when you have an online password. You can be given a series of hints to remember it when you forget (we’ve all been there), but hackers use the same sort of system. They go for the obvious first and for those of us using the obvious we leave ourselves vulnerable.

Don’t think this is an issue? Well the most popular password used online is “123456” and that’s not even close to being cryptic. Check out the list for yourself and let me know what you think. Do you have any safety tips?
