Are your passwords secure.......watch this short video

Each time you register with a new shopping site or email or newsletter or bank, you have to give some user name (can be your email or a bespoke made up name), plus you need a password.  The site usually has some rules on how this password is made up. 

All now are saying at least 8 characters, some with upper case, and/or numbers/ and or symbols. However, as the interview on the video suggests even these 8 character password are easy to crack by a auto program running on a computer.

So watch the video and as the question....'are my passwords good enough', take the advice and change it....let me know what you think in the comments....thanks to my colleague Vic for searching out this video clip.....
