[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 27326, member: 34"] Re: Potential security vulnerability if you use 1and1 internet hosting I use 10 to 15 digits (out of 25) of Windows Product Keys (old ones, like Windows 98) as passwords. Back when I was an IT guy at another school, I installed Windows so many times I memorized the key! However, I think a strong password means just about nothing these days. In most cases of hacking, the entire password requirement is completely bypassed by accessing the system another way, or by keylogging the password with a Trojan or other virus. The strongest password ever wouldn't have prevented an attack in these cases. [/QUOTE]
