Check the strength of your password.
« on: July 15, 2009, 10:45:53 PM »
Need to know if you have a good password? Give the Microsoft password checker a whirl. --> http://www.microsoft.com/protect/yourself/password/checker.mspx

Need help making a strong password? Try GRC's password generator. --> https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm Just hit refresh to get a new password.

I personally use a 63 random printable ASCII character password on my wireless router and just keep it in a text file on a flash drive in case my friends need to use my connection. Overkill? Not really. :)

Edit: I really need to do 1 of 2 things, either proof read my own posts before posting instead of after or learn how to type. I think the first option would be easier.

The ability to edit posts is the most appreciated (by me) feature of Premium Membership -- I need it!  :D ;D
