<p><span style="font-style: italic;">It’s Thanksgiving!</span> A time
to be with family <span style="font-style: italic;">so they can ask you
all the tech support questions they’ve been saving up</span>. This year,
do them an extra favor and help them create better passwords.</p>
<p>A good password is long and unique to each account and isn’t easily
guessed. Yes, people still use “12345678” and “password”. These
accounts are very easily accessed, since they’re in the dictionaries
that hackers use to try to get into accounts. </p>
<p>Adobe recently fell victim to hackers, with 130 million passwords
of active and inactive users stolen. <span style="font-style: italic;">That
includes everyone who has used Adobe Digital Editions to access library
ebooks, by the way.</span> You can <a
href="http://mashable.com/2013/11/05/20-most-popular-passwords-adobe/">read
more about it and see the top 20 most common passwords people used for
their Adobe accounts</a>.</p>
<p>If you used the same password for your Adobe account and your email
account, that’s extra bad news. That hacker could access your email,
since your email address may have been stolen along with the password.
With access to your email account, they can reset passwords for
high-value websites like banks, which often validate password changes
through email. Scary, right?</p>
<p>Protect yourself better by creating a password around 20 characters
long, and choose multiple, unrelated words. Even better, <span
style="font-style: italic;">create a combination of words, numbers and
special characters</span>. You can even use your own pattern like this
one: special character, word, numbers, special character, word. Like
this: “%shatter61103+Zinc” which, because it’s odd, is actually fairly
easy to remember.</p>
<p>Next, use software like <a href="https://lastpass.com/">LastPass</a>
or <a href="https://agilebits.com/onepassword">1Password</a> to
securely store your passwords and generate new, strong passwords for you
automatically. With them, you just need one strong password to get you
into the software, and they store the rest. From shopping sites to email
logins to my library card, I’m currently storing over 400 passwords in
1Password.</p>
<p>Get them using better passwords, and then you can start trying to
explain Instagram selfies.</p>
