The LastPass password generator
Password/username combos are a painful but unavoidable fact of internet life. Your WordPress website dashboard is yet another login to remember, so what’s the best way to go about it? Some people choose a password that is simple to remember, and use it for everything. Trouble is, if that password was discovered or guessed, a hacker could gain access to everything else you log in to.
If you use a dictionary word, a pet’s name or anything a computer might find guessable, you are at risk. Ideally, a password will contain a long string of mixed characters, numbers, uppercase and lowercase letters – AND – you’ll have a different unique password for every website.
So what’s the solution?
