WP Password length and security... possibly a tip
Hi guys.
Most of us here are aware that it's very important to keep your blog backed up, and there's nasty folk out there who try and break in... especially if you're sites a good earner with lots of traffic.
I use a couple of free plugins, for example, I use a limited log in attempt plugin, and it's quite often, people trying to log into my account.
I've set my password to 250 random characters.
I'm assuming this will make it more difficult for people to log in?
Anyway, if this is a good method... then, cool.
I use lastpass, so, it generates and stores all my passwords... it's not like I'm taking 5 minutes to sign in each time.
So... ye, just though I'd share, and would be interested to get feedback on this method.
