Good passwords are hard to come by. If you suddenly and without much warning had to pick a password to access your computer, or your favorite website, or your internet banking facility, what would you do? Most people would make their password their name, their partner's name, their birthday, their partner's birthday, their favorite color or book or movie or character. You can probably already see a pattern forming here, can't you? Ok, now for the scary part: these are all easily guessed and your personal information is like a bank who holds all your money.. on the foot path where everyone can see it and grab it!
