This is the age of the cloud. You cannot use the same password for everything anymore. That\u2019s five times. Keep reminding yourself of that. And the next time you sign-up for a cloud-based application or a membership site, or Facelessbook or any thing you have to enter a password and username to use, don\u2019t use 12345 or David61 or mollyispretty, or your birthday or your phone number as your password. And, remember: This is the age of the cloud. You cannot use the same password for everything anymore.<\/p>\n It\u2019s time to get serious about passwords. Honestly, if you don\u2019t get serious about your safety and privacy in the cloud, someone else will and you won\u2019t be a happy camper. Identity theft and cyber-crime are major problems now; just wait until the cloud gets cookin\u2019. Security starts with you. Actually it starts with \u201cs\u201d but it should start with you.

Oh, that\u2019s right, you\u2019re the one who using Internet Explorer to save that password you use for every site \u2013 so you don\u2019t even have to type in mary051852 in every time. That\u2019s even worse you know. If you use your browser to store you passwords guess who else can use your passwords? That\u2019s right! Anyone who uses your computer. Including your children and grandchildren. Do you want them to know how much you don\u2019t have in the bank? That you\u2019re living on cash advances from those 16 credit card accounts you\u2019re juggling and accessing them all with the same password?<\/p>\n Yes, it\u2019s high time to get a password generator or use one of the Web-based ones that abound.

Maybe you\u2019d want to type in next to each one what they are for. This isn\u2019t the best case scenario, but it\u2019s better than using william40851 as your password. At least only you\u2019ll know where the file is stored and where to look when you need it.
