Tip on how to keep your accounts safe from hacking

by Alex Blades

I see alot of threads about different accounts being hacked, and thought why isn't everybody using this method of choosing your passwords. What I do to choose passwords, is to use the Wordpress salt generator. https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/



All you have to do is keep refreshing and it will generate new salt strings every time. Of course nothing is hacker proof, but it doesn't hurt to make it harder to get hacked. Heck use 2 or 3 of those salts strings as your password

    2 or 3 strings in one password?!

    There would be more possible combinations than atoms in the universe

    Even 8 random letters and numbers has over 2.8 trillion possible combinations and that multiplies by 36 each time you add one more.

    Good advice though.

    I did once have the need to access a colleague's computer when I had real job. The first word I tried (wedding) was the right one!
