If your password/s are stolen, possible problems can be:
- Your email may be accessed
- Posts in social media may be made in your name
- Goods may be purchased on line in your name
- Your bank or other financial accounts may be accessed
- There are computer programs which try to guess passwords, using readily available data. eg name, date of birth, street name, pet’s name, common sequences eg 1234 or any dictionary word.
Safety involves using:
- One password per website
- A mixture of numbers, letters and symbols
- Longer rather than shorter passwords
- The first letter of a phrase, using substitutions for letters such as a! for an a, a 3 for an e, a7 for an r etc
- A safe to store passwords or stored unidentified at a friend or relative’s place – not in a drawer at home
