Length really matters!
People can be very lazy with their internet passwords, some are easy to guess and others computers can crack in a relatively short time. The trick is to have a long password made up of a string of things that are easy for only you to remember. If you are wondering how secure is my password? , then go to this website for a demonstration. At the moment I am using an 10 character password which would take a computer 6 days to crack. If I change my password to 13 characters, it would take a computer about 314 years to crack. So, length really matters and not just in the bedroom!
