yes, you are right! Everytime, i will set my passwords as long as possible and as complicated as possible. i think there is another way to protect us when we are using the internet is by installing a good and effective anti-virus, anti-hacker software on our computer. Personally i was using the panda anti virus software. it really help a lot to protect my computer becasue some site that looks accreditable may contain virus. Last thing i want to say and remind is scan your computer always to delete any potenial hazardaous program and file in computer. Be careful!

a method that some people use to get info is called social engineering(if im correct). this is the use of words to inquire information from people. its used commonly today for people on the internet and sometimes on the phone. On password recovery sometimes it needs like an email address or a birthday or your moms maiden name, even a pets name... all these can be easily pulled out of you with out you knowing. a simple question can be disasterous. so keep you info safe :)
