What I usually do is combo of at least two works with a few random letters thrown in, some numbers, and then some more random letters.

NyBoy has been gone since this post!

Suppose he is really in trouble :confused: ?!

To set up a password in the future, it should have a capital letter, two numbers, a symbol ... an inspiring message, a spell, a gang sign, a hieroglyph, and the results of a blood alcohol test ...

okay, you can leave out what's between the dots ... we can also give you ideas of where to keep your passwords.

I have had that happen. They do not get your password. Somehow they send a message and it looks like it comes from you. I have unknowingly sent them and received them from others. My husband had 3 charges on his debit card that were not his. The bank called him. I really appreciate their vigilance. They just removed the charges with the phone call-no hassle.Crooks are so smart.

Yes they are far too smart. I keep my bank account on "notice"..that is...they notify me of suspicious activities...and I get a daily balance. I can see immediately if the amount is wrong.

As far as emails and other stuff.......it pays to be diligent.
