What is a strong password? a strong password consists of 8 or more characters with the combination of numbers, letters, symbols (like%,@,#). It should also be composed of both uppercase and lowercase letters. it is important also that our password is not found in the English dictionary or in our user name.
In a website like myLot, it is important that we have a strong password because as you see, we are earning money here, right? If we have a weak password, it is very easy for anyone to hack our account. Therefore, it is a MUST to have a strong password.
Now, I am wondering, do you guys have a strong password? If your password fits the definition above, then bravo! XD
As for me, my password is more than 8 characters, composed of only lowercase letters and numbers so it is not strong at all. maybe i need to change it one day. actually, i don't like a password with uppercase and lowercase letters, it's tiring to press SHIFT. but then again, security should be considered first.
What do you think about this? Do you think you have a strong password. IF not, then you MUST consider about changing it then, before it's too late.
NOTE:
please DO NOT post your password. I just want insights about this. Thanks.

I think it's any combination of numbers and letters that are not easily guessed or duplicated. I tend to use an easy to remember combination of numbers and letters.
It is important to have a password that others are not going to be able to duplicate easily for internet security.
