You'd be amazed at how easy it is...:sneaky:

Not to mention, a lot of people are just DUMB about their user name and password.
Username: first initial and last name, or first two initials and last name
Password: birthday, kid's name, kid's birthday, favorite movie, etc.

Make your username FDR64538ghy6e
and your password hsiuue&&kdueqap8

No one would ever get it.

Lord knows, I have enough trouble remembering all of my various user names and passwords as it is. I would never be able to remember your suggestion!:confused: I'd have to write it down. Then, of course, I would lose the paper that I wrote it on...or the paper would somehow get into the wrong hands.... I was thinking that maybe the wife got the name and password from one of the kids (if there were any kids).
